How do the different waves / currents work?
Three wave shapes / currents are available. Cutting current ( fully filtered wave) The cutting wave is the finest wave that produces the smoothest cut and provides for the quickest healing process. This wave produces better results than can be achieved with a scalpel, and should be your choice of wave for all fine cuts. Because this wave develops the lowest lateral heat only few layers of cells evaporate. Excisions taken with this wave can be histologically examined. Cutting and coagulating current (fully rectified wave) The fully rectified wave simultaneously cuts and coagulates without causing necrotic tissue changes. Since the wave produces a slightly higher lateral heat than the fully filtered wave, more cell layers evaporate. The wave produces a clean cut with a simultaneous coagulation along the cutting line. The coagulation is so fine and gentle that only a whitish layer of coagulum is visible, which does not hinter the wound healing and disappears in the course of the healing p
