BatteriesCategory: INSTRUMENTARIUM Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery The simplest, best, and safest source of current is a double dry battery arranged in three groups of two cells each, connected in series (Fig. 8). Each set should have two binding posts and a rheostat. The binding posts should have double holes for two additional cords, to be kept in reserve for use in case a cord becomes defective.* The commercial current reduced through a rheostat should never be used, because there is always the possibility of grounding the circuit through the patient; a highly dangerous accident when we consider that the tube makes a long moist contact in tissues close to the course of both the vagi and the heart. The endoscopist should never depend upon a pocket battery as a source of illumination, for it is almost certain to fail during the endoscopy. The wires connecting the battery and endoscopic instrument are covered with rubber, so that they may be cleansed and superficially sterilized with alcohol. They may be totally immersed in alcohol for any length of time without injury. * When this is done care is necessary to avoid attempting to use simultaneously the two cords from one pair of posts. [FIG 8.--The author's endoscopic battery, heavily built for reliability. It contains 6 dry cells, series-connected in 3 groups of 2 cells each. Each group has its own rheostat and pair of binding posts.] Next: Aspirating Tubes Previous: Measuring Rule
