Abstract
In an example, an electrode includes an elongated body, a conductive layer, and an insulator layer. The elongated body includes a first conductive material and extends in an axial direction from a proximal end to a distal end. The proximal end is configured to receive electrosurgical energy from the electrosurgical tool. The elongated body includes a blade for at least one of cutting or coagulation of tissue by the electrosurgical energy received from the electrosurgical tool. The conductive layer includes a second conductive material coupled to the blade of the elongated body. The second conductive material is different than the first conductive material. The insulator layer includes a non-conductive material and is coupled to the conductive layer. The insulator layer covers a first portion of the conductive layer, and does not cover a second portion of the conductive layer such that the conductive layer is exposed at the second portion.
