An experiment on thermal damage prevention via power control in bipolar electrosurgical unit

Abstract

This article presents a model of the ESG system for a Thermal control of bipolar electrosurgical device which accurately predicts the thermal spread rate for particular electrodes and tissue. A value for the tissue cutting and coagulation has been identified based on the analysis carried out on the experimental data and compared with the simulation result from the model using the Matlab/Simulink simulation tool. The ESG controller is designed based on the Microcontroller.
