Monopolar
Monopolar devices provide no ______ and may use metal forceps/direct coupling to achieve hemostasis.
What is compression
This controllable physical factor is generally lower with Traditional Bipolar devices than Monopolar.
What is heat
The Advanced Bipolar advancement, compared to Traditional Bipolar, that brings enhanced efficiency.
What is integrated cutting
For all Ultrasonic instruments, all sides of this are active
What is the blade
This monopolar waveform delivers energy 100% of the time.
What is CUT
Unlike for Monopolar devices, this type of electrode is not needed.
What is a patient return electrode
Ability to measure this separates Advanced Bipolar from Traditional, minimizing thermal spread.
What is impedance (resistance)
For ultrasonic devices, electricity is converted to this form of energy
What is ultrasonic mechanical motion
The controllable physical factor which monopolar devices rely the most on.
What is heat
This states that tissue damage is proportional to the power applied to the areas of contact.
What is current concentration
The benefit of integrated adaptive controls to measure tissue impedance
What is reduced lateral damage
Ultrasonic devices using Advanced Hemostasis Mode can seal vessels up to and including this diameter.
What is 7 mm
This feature allows surgeons a better angle of approach for optimal hemostasis.
What is articulation
The generator’s power level increases this to achieve faster cutting
What is the blade displacement
The part of the HARMONIC® Hand Piece responsible for converting electricity into mechanical motion
What are the piezoelectric ceramic disks (transducer)
