Zusammenfassung:An electrode tip for use in performing electrosurgical operative procedures to concentrate electrical energy communicated to the patient tissue is disclosed. The electrode tip includes a main body that can receive electrical energy from an electrosurgical generator. The main body includes a working surface defining a flash edge. The working surface communicates the electrical energy to patient tissue during an operative procedure. The flash edge concentrates the electrical energy as it is communicated to the patient tissue. The concentration of the electrical energy from the flash edge reduces excessive tissue damage surrounding an incision site and improves the efficiency of the electrode tip.
