Guidelines For Power Settings - Cooper Surgical LEEP System 1000 KH1000A Manual De Funcionamiento

By varying the pulse to an intermediate duration, it is possible to get a clinical effect that combines,
or "blends", the clinical characteristics of CUT and COAG, yielding the effect referred to as
"BLEND", where tissue is divided with a desirable amount of hemostatis along the margins of the
divided tissue.
The electrosurgical effect may vary throughout the procedure, requiring the operator to adjust the
relative power setting of the Electrosurgical Generator.

The degree and speed of electrosurgical effect is largely dependent on Current Density
at the point of contact of the active electrode. Loop electrosurgical excision procedure
electrodes from other manufacturers may vary in the diameter thickness, size and
configuration of the cutting wire. This may result in SIGNIFICANT changes in the
electrosurgical effect at a given output power level setting. The use of CooperSurgical
LEEP Electrodes is recommended.

6.2 Guidelines for Power Settings

The following guidelines for power settings may vary due to the technique, clinical circumstances,
accessory style, cutting wire diameter, size, configuration and user preference.
