Working Principles
3.2.1
Principle:
This unit can transmit energy to the electrode part at the far end of treatment probe. Electricity flows
between working electrode and circuit electrode, and only generate local energy field. So this design can
generate controllable energy output and minimal collateral tissue damage. In reverse, mono polar system
only has one working electrode at the far end. Electricity comes from the working electrode, and flows
through human body to reach the electrode plate attached to patient, thus making the energy through
human body and surrounding tissues get much larger.
3.2.2
How it Works:
To transmit the energy to the electric conduction liquid (e.g. normal saline), which is close to or on the
surface of target tissues. The electric conduction liquid forms a thin layer between working electrode and
circuit electrode. The electric conduction liquid, given with enough energy, can transform to a steam layer
(i.e. plasma) containing charged particles with energy. When the high energy charged particles contact
target tissues, it will realize tissue disintegration by molecular dissociation. Compared with the
conventional electrosurgical system, by this kind of working model, the temperature generated at the target
tissues is much lower, thus bringing less collateral damage to the surrounding tissues. While the unit
