5.7.2. Forced coag
This mode is used for contact coagulation with low tissue penetration, preferably
using fine electrodes and electrodes with small contact areas. It achieves a high
degree of coagulation with low cutting tendency.
Application areas
Fast coagulation with small penetration depth
Suitable instruments
 Ball electrodes
 Knife electrodes
 Spatula electrodes
5.7.3. Forced mixed
This mode is used for contact coagulation with low tissue penetration, preferably
using fine electrodes and electrodes with small contact areas. It achieves a high
degree of coagulation with moderate cutting tendency.
Application areas
Fast coagulation with small penetration depth and moderate cutting tendency
Suitable instruments
 Knife electrodes
 Spatula electrodes
 Insulated monopolar forceps
5.7.4. Forced cutting
This mode is used for contact coagulation with low tissue penetration, preferably
using fine electrodes and electrodes with small contact areas. It achieves good
hemostasis with very good cutting tendency.
Application areas
Fast coagulation with small penetration depth and very good cutting tendency
Suitable instruments
 Knife electrodes
 Spatula electrodes
 Needle electrodes
