The smaller the electrode, the higher the current concentration. Reducing the contact area of the active electrode by a factor of 10 increases the current density by a factor of 100 without changing the power setting.9 Surgeons should exploit this variable to achieve the desired tissue effects without increasing the power setting.6
Activation time
Long activation time increases the extent of tissue damage, whereas too short a time may result in inadequate tissue effect.8
