Patent ID: 8353904

Claim:
An electrosurgical system, comprising: a generator adapted to generate electrosurgical energy for treating tissue, the generator including at least one active output terminal that supplies energy to the tissue, the at least one active output terminal operatively connected to at least one supply line, the generator also including at least one return output terminal that returns energy from the tissue, the at least one return output terminal operatively connected to at least one return line; an electrosurgical instrument operatively connected to the at least one supply line; at least one return electrode operatively connected to the at least one return line; and an electro surgical cable including the at least one supply line and the at least one return line, at least a portion of the at least one supply line and at least a portion of the at least one return line being wound in a double helix having a first helix and a second helix, wherein at least two parameters of the electrosurgical cable, including a length of the double helix and an apex distance between an apex of the first helix and a nearest apex of the second helix, are optimized to achieve desired inductive and capacitive properties of the electrosurgical cable.
