An electrosurgical generator supplies, during operation, a high-frequency alternating current to an electrosurgical instrument for plasma cutting of body tissue. The electrosurgical generator has outputs for connecting an electrosurgical instrument to supply an electrosurgical instrument connected to the outputs with a high-frequency alternating current, and for determining the impedance of a load connected to the outputs. The electrosurgical generator features impedance and voltage measuring units as well as an output voltage control unit. The output voltage control unit is designed to control the AC output voltage depending on a maximum output voltage value that is set during operation depending on an output value of the impedance measuring unit and/or depending on an output value of the voltage measuring unit, such that the maximum output voltage value predefines a lower AC output voltage during a vaporization phase than during an ignition phase occurring subsequently to the vaporization phase.

Electrosurgical generator, electrosurgical system, and method of operating an electrosurgical generator

An electrosurgical generator, which has a high-voltage DC power supply unit and a resonant circuit connected thereto. The resonant circuit has an output transformer, the primary winding of which is part of the resonant circuit and the secondary winding of which is connected to connections for an electrosurgical instrument. The resonant circuit is furthermore connected to an actuation circuit, which is configured to periodically emit actuation pulses for the purpose of exciting the resonant circuit using the resonant frequency thereof. The actuation circuit includes a synchronization unit, which is connected to the resonant circuit, and includes at least one gradient detector and is configured to synchronize actuation pulses with a reversal point of the voltage profile of the voltage in the resonant circuit.

Electrosurgical generator

The invention relates to a high-frequency surgical device for generating high-frequency energy for cutting and/or coagulating biological tissue. The high-frequency surgical device comprises an application part being electrically connectable to an electrosurgical instrument having at least one activation switch, an intermediary power circuit galvanically separated from the application part, a DC power source which, in operation, provides in the application part at least one DC voltage, a with the DC voltage source electrically connected control signal generator which, in operation, generates in the application part () from the DC voltage an alternating control signal with a predetermined switching frequency, and a to the control signal generator electrically connected evaluation unit being electrically connectable to the activation switch of the instrument and which, when the activation switch is actuated, transmits a with the switching frequency oscillating activation signal to the input power circuit.
