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
5.7.5. Spray
This mode is used with non-contact surface coagulation using an arc, for
hemostasis in parenchymal tissue, in poorly accessible crevices, and in
conjunction with argon coagulation.
Application areas
Promoting coagulation of diffuse bleeding
Suitable instruments
 Ball electrodes
 Knife electrodes
 Spatula electrodes
 Needle electrodes
