Abstract:
1. An electrosurgical system comprising: an electrosurgical electrode adapted to transmit electrical energy to patient tissue during an electrosurgical procedure, the electrode having a configuration that enhances rapid feedback used to automatically correct and regulate power levels applied to the electrode, the electrode comprising a working surface that is sharpened to concentrate the electrical energy transmitted from the electrode to the patient tissue during an electrosurgical procedure so that concentration of the electrical energy to the patient tissue improves both speed with which the electrode is able to cut or cauterize the tissue while also reducing likelihood of tissue damage in tissue surrounding the cut or cauterized tissue, the improved speed with which the electrode is able to cut or cauterize tissue providing more rapid feedback that can be used to regulate power levels applied to the electrode; and an electrosurgical wave generator electrically coupled to the electrode, the wave generator comprising;
