Abstract

A method for diminishing electrosurgery-induced thermal damage to biological tissues by correcting the power output is considered. The output power is corrected according to the type of biological tissue and the impedance increment caused by coagulation. The results of a study of biological tissue impedance substantiating the feasibility of this method are presented.
