LEEP REDIKIT Product No. 6060 In a Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure, a thin, low-voltage electrified wire loop is used to cut out abnormal cervical tissue. The cartridges of Polocaine and Xylocaine with Epinephrine contained in the LEEP RediKit are local anaesthetic which the physician may choose from during the procedure.

LEEP RediKit Products (for use in Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedures) have Xylocaine (Lidocaine) HCL (2%) listed on the tray lid label but this is not included in the contents of the kit, which contained Polocaine (Mepivacaine) HCL (3%) instead (which was not listed on the tray label).
