Abstract

A cart (10) is provided for conveniently carrying an electrosurgical generator (14) and for providing electricity from the generator (14) and inert gas from gas tanks (66-68) to an electrosurgical pencil (40). The cart (10) comprises a platform (12) constructed and arranged to receive any electrosurgical generator (14). A wheeled support structure (16) allows storage and transport of the necessary components for operating the generator (14) and the pencil (40). The cart (10) contains space for receiving gas tanks (66-68) and the connections for transferring the gas from the tanks (66-68) to the pencil (40) at a desired flow rate. The cart (10) also provides the electrical connections to provide electricity to the generator (14) and to the pencil (40) simultaneously with the inert gas.
