6.3.3.
Monopolar coagulation, "Moderate"
This mode is used in contact coagulation for stopping haemorrhagic
oozing, haemostasis of larger tissue areas, and coagulation over
smaller surfaces. Carbonisation of the tissue is prevented and adhesion
of the electrode to the tissue is greatly reduced. A greater coagulation
depth is achieved in comparison to the other coagulation modes.
Application areas
Coagulation with high penetration, little adhesion of the electrode to the
tissue.
Suitable instruments
Electrodes with large contact area, e.g. ball-type electrodes
6.3.4.
Monopolar coagulation, "Forced"
This mode is used for contact coagulation extending only over a small
area of the tissue, preferably with small surfaces and fine electrodes. A
high degree of coagulation with moderate cutting tendency is achieved.
Application areas
Rapid coagulation with low penetration and moderate cutting tendency.
Suitable instruments
Knife electrodes
Spatula electrodes
Isolated monopolar forceps
6.3.5.
Bipolar coagulation
This mode is employed for arc-less contact coagulation when using
forceps. The use of a neutral electrode is not necessary.
Application areas
Bipolar coagulation
Suitable instruments
Bipolar forceps
Bipolar scissors
