Extract strings / characters from the right till the first occurrence of a comma, using an excel formula

Dear Experts:

I would like to extract strings from the right till the first occurrence of a comma, using an Excel formula.

Example

A1                                                               B1 (formula)
Scissors, bipolar, 23 cm                          23 cm
Laser, medical, 234 kg                            234 kg
Plate, regular, 87 holes                          87 holes

Could somebody help me with this probably nested formula.

Help is much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

A really good job from all of you, all of the formulas work just fine.

If the length of the formula is a criterion, Ryan Chong's formula is the best one.
Rob Henson's formula is also very concise but I just had cases in which just one comma was present.

I will distribute the points accordingly. Again, thank you very much for your superb and professional help. I really appreciate it. Regards, Andreas
