thermal spread

thermal spread

The dissemination of heat to neighboring tissues from the tissue to which it has been applied. Thermal spread is a variable that may complicate electrosurgery, laser surgery, or radiofrequency ablation.

The Force FX electrosurgical generator has a standard 'cut' setting (low voltage/less thermal spread than blend, dividing tissue with little hemostasis, or stoppage of blood flow), 'blend' (more thermal spread than cut with more hemostasis), and 'coag' setting (high voltage with more thermal spread than blend, used to coagulate tissues).
Charging-up surgical devices: electrosurgical devices require an energy platform to generate the power necessary to function properly. Working closely with surgeons on the design, a device maker has introduced a unit to provide exactly the type of control and power needed for these surgical tools.
