Abstract

An electrosurgical system includes a generator that generates electrosurgical energy for treating tissue. The generator includes one or more active output terminals which supply energy to tissue and are operatively connected to one or more supply lines. The generator also includes one or more return output terminals which return energy from the tissue and are operatively connected to at least one return line. The system also includes an electrosurgical instrument operatively connected to the one or more supply lines and one or more return electrodes operatively connected to the one or more return lines. The system further includes an electrosurgical cable including one or more supply lines and one or more return lines, which are wound in a double helix fashion such that the electrical field along the cable is mitigated along the length thereof.
