A high efficiency electrosurgical electrode (50b) with an advanced electrically conductive tip and advanced design tube. The tube design is provided with a swaged one-piece metal tube (88) that fits in small cannulas (as small as a 5.5mm cannula). The electrode (50b) has a scalloped configuration that provides decreased surface area with more edges. The handle is provided with an ergonomic design that utilizes a bend with a cut at the end of the tube (for example, a 30 degree bend with a 15 degree cut).
