Patent ID: 6923804

Claim:
An electrosurgical generator connectable with a power input, comprising: an input treatment network responsive to said power input to provide a first output; a frequency generator responsive to said first output and to a frequency control input to derive an output having a predetermined waveform; an output power control circuit responsive to a voltage level control input and a power level control input to derive an electrosurgical energy output at an electrosurgical voltage level and power level at an electrosurgical frequency; an output stage responsive to said output power control circuit electrosurgical energy output and connectable in electrical communication with an electrosurgical instrument; and a control assembly responsive to a cut command to derive said voltage level control input to provide a boost electrosurgical voltage level for a boost interval and thereafter responsive to derive said power level control input in a tissue load resistance defined output voltage monitoring mode or an output power mode to effect a normal cut electrosurgical voltage level which is less than said boost electrosurgical voltage level.
