1.4. Function
Principle:
The electrical resistance of tissue through which current is passing leads to heat
generation. Through heat, tissue can be cut and bleeding staunched.

With bipolar HF surgery, coagulation of tissue
is effected by the application of a high
frequency alternating current, thereby
generating heat. The HF current flows from one
branch of the instrument via the biological
tissue to the second branch and achieves the
desired locally restricted coagulation effect.
Active electrodes (branches) are the
uninsulated areas of the jaw.
In the starting position, jaw A is closed. On
operating the handle D, the jaw is opened.
