5.6. Monopolar cutting modes
5.6.1. Standard
In this mode a high-performance HF current with a low crest factor is used
for cutting biological tissue. ARC CONTROL quickly adjusts the power
output to the minimum required level in response to variations in tissue type
and changes in the cutting area or speed.
Application areas
Cutting tissue with low electrical resistance, such as muscle tissue or
vascular tissue.
Cutting or preparing fine structures
Suitable instruments
 Needle electrodes
 Knife electrodes
 Spatula electrodes
 Sling electrodes
5.6.2. Micro
This mode is used for electrosurgical cutting using micro-electrodes. It
enables extremely fine control of the power level and precise work.
Application areas
Pediatric surgery, neurosurgery, plastic surgery
Suitable instruments
 Micro needle electrodes
