摘要:
Systems and associated methods for sensing and indicating when a wide range of tissue is adequately cauterized and/or sealed by an electrosurgical instrument. The system indirectly monitors the current flowing through the tissue and determines the adequacy of tissue cauterization or sealing of vessel(s) by monitoring when the current is stable or nearly stable (i.e. when the current is constant). The system may also indicate a predetermined time that current is applied through the tissue and control the flow of energy through the tissue.
