Electrosurgery
Electrosurgery uses alternating current to achieve cutting and
coagulation. The patient becomes part of the electrical circuit and
current enters their body. Cautery uses direct current to coagulate. A
heated wire or electrode comes in contact with tissue.
Vary the voltage of the current and the pattern of electric pulses to achieve your desired cauterizing effect.
-Cutting - Use lower voltage with a continuous AC current to produce heat rapidly and completely vaporize the tissue at the tip of the probe. -Coagulation - Use higher voltage in a pulsed manner to produce heat more slowly. With this method, tissue damage is more widspread (a few mm from the probe) and blood coagulates.
