Abstract

The disclosure is directed to an electrosurgical generator comprising: an electromagnetic signal supply unit for generating electromagnetic, EM, energy to be conveyed along each of a plurality of channels. Each of the plurality of channels is arranged to convey electromagnetic energy at a different frequency. The electrosurgical generator further comprises an output port selectively connectable to each of the plurality of channels. The output port is connectable to an electrosurgical instrument for delivering the electromagnetic energy to biological tissue. The electrosurgical generator further comprises a tissue identification unit comprising a controller configured to: detect a signal indicative of a load impedance at the output port; determine a set of complex impedance values from the detected signals; identify a tissue type from the set of complex impedance values; and generate an output for communicating the identified tissue type to a user.
