5.6.7. Laparoscopy
This mode is used in laparoscopy and arthroscopy for monopolar cutting.
Application areas
Laparoscopy, arthroscopy
Suitable instruments
 Arthroscopy electrodes
 Laparoscopy electrodes
5.6.8. GastroLOOP 1
This mode is used in gastroenterology. Polypectomy snares are used for
cutting and coagulation. ARC control generates the cutting effect with
simultaneously minimized output power. This mode consists of a series of
cutting current pulses followed by a coagulation phase. With a relatively
slow pulse rate of 1 cutting pulse per second, this mode is suitable for
especially cautious work.
Application areas
Polyp removal using polypectomy snares and flexible endoscopy
Suitable instruments
 Polypectomy snares
