Blend Cut
Blend Cut is a cutting current with a moderate proportion of eschar formation. The wound edges are
simultaneously coagulated during cutting, coagulating the extensive bleeding from transected capillaries
immediately during cutting. This is not possible when using a scalpel for cutting. However, the effect has
disadvantageous effects on wound healing in comparison to the Pure Cut current. Using the effect setting,
the voltage can be changed and thus the hemostatic effect slightly varied.
The Blend Cut current can be used universally wherever extensive active electrodes are to be used and a
certain hemostasis effect immediately during cutting is expected. For needle electrodes or electrodes with
wire loops, this current is less suitable. With such electrodes, hemostasis is achieved more easily with
contact-free coagulation.
Risk of injury from excessive power!
The output power of the Blend Cut current can be set to up to 250 W. At a power of more than 150 W,
the risks of burns described in section 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 will increase. The safety measures described
therein shall be applied with increased diligence.
Active accessories to be used with this current must be able to withstand an HF voltage of at least 900 V
(depending on the selected effect).
