    Science (New York, N.Y.)·2001

    Measuring high-frequency electrosurgical currents is challenging due to generator output and current losses. An inductive probe offers an accurate method for measuring electrosurgical current at the active electrode.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Surgical Technology

    Background:

    • Measuring high-frequency electrosurgical currents is crucial for surgical safety and efficacy.
    • Generator output circuits isolated from ground and current losses complicate accurate measurements.
    • Existing methods may not fully capture the true current delivered at the active electrode.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To address the challenges in measuring high-frequency electrosurgical currents.
    • To introduce and validate an accurate method for real-time current measurement at the active electrode.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and utilization of an inductive probe.
    • Testing the probe's accuracy in measuring electrosurgical currents under realistic surgical conditions.

    Main Results:
