• In bipolar applications, two-pole active electrodes or forceps are used, and the current simply passes
through the tissue pinched between these two poles, with negligible involvement of an earth path.
Some of the intended effects rely on a hot electrical arc being struck between the monopolar active electrode
and the target tissue. These arcs require peak voltages in the kV range, and thus can present a burn hazard
to the technician. See Section 2.3 for methods to avoid this hazard.
