8.3 Renuvion®—consistent power output

The design of the electrosurgical generator for the Renuvion® plasma device is fundamentally different from that of monopolar and bipolar devices. As shown in Figure 8, monopolar and bipolar devices have limited power output in tissues with higher impedance, such as fat. The Renuvion® device was designed to maintain consistent power output over a wide range of impedances. When used for the coagulation of subdermal tissue, the Renuvion® output is not self-limiting and provides unencumbered delivery of power regardless of the tissue impedance.
