Abstract

See full text

The present system relates to an apparatus for desiccating tissue. The apparatus includes an electrode assembly having a heating element, a metal electrode, and a temperature sensor. The apparatus also includes a radio frequency (RF) generator, coupled to the metal electrode, having a signal generator for generating an electrical signal, and switch for selecting between a first mode, second mode and third mode of operation. In the first mode, the electrical signal is directed to the metal electrode and applied to the tissue. In the second mode, the electrical signal is directed to the heating element such that heat produced by the heating element is applied to the tissue. In the third mode, the electrical signal is directed to the metal electrode and the heating element, for applying the electrical signal and the heat to the tissue.
