  • Low power electrode
    Publication number: 20030225404
    Abstract: A monopolar electrode for use with a standard electrosurgical pencil and generator suitable for performing tissue ablation at relatively low power levels. The electrode has an active portion at its distal tip, the active portion being partially or totally covered by a dielectric material to create high power densities sufficient to cause the electrode sparking necessary for tissue ablation. Portions of the electrode other than the active portion are surrounded by an insulating material to enable transmission of electromagnetic energy only through the active portion.
