An electrode anchor unit (72) is located within the interior of the suction tube (28) to allow relative movement of the suction tube (28) relative to a stationarily-retained electrode (24), and to receive and connect to different lengths of the electrodes. Adjusting the length of the suction tube (28) relative to the 10 different lengths of the electrode (24) achieves effective evacuation, among other things.1/9 20 4 8 40 38 28 4 26 32 24 70 34 22 1 se ELECTROSURGICAL GENERATOR 4 4 / SMOKE EVACUATOR 42 FIG.1
