0.001 to 0.004 in. (250 to 1000 um). In designing our unique Engler tips, water flows internally through the tip as it vibrates. As the bubbles in the lavage are bacteriocidal, the energy released collapses and destroys the bacterial cell walls. - Page 6 Electrosurgery Electrosurge Tool selector Scaler and polisher ON indicator Power level switch power level Water level knob Polisher connector Electrosurgery Scaling handpiece handpiece Water filter Electrosurgery indifferent ground jack Electrosurgery indifferent ground plug Water quick disconnect (QD) Power Footswitch Electrosurgery indifferent cord ground pad Page 6 of 38...

Page 8: Tri-Mate Electrosurgery
TRI-MATE ELECTROSURGERY Electrosurgery electronics uses solid-state technology. The unit is ready to operate as soon as the power is applied. The unit accepts electrical power from a standard outlet and converts low frequency 60 Hz cycle to a high frequency radio wave. This rapid reversal of current means ion positions across cellular membranes do not change. - Page 9 Principles of Electrosurgery: The Tri-Mate uses a constant waveform, which produces heat very rapidly to enable the operator to vaporize or cut tissue. As tissue conducts heat, always allow 10 to 15 seconds for the tissue to cool before operating on the same area. The only variable that determines whether the Tri-Mate vaporizes tissue or produces a coagulum is the rate at which heat is produced.
- Page 10 IMPORTANT ITEMS TO REMEMBER WHEN SELECTING ELECTROSURGERY A word about duty cycle: Duty cycle Is a term that refers to the length of time an electro surgery unit should be allowed to run. Generally speaking an electro surgery device uses high energy, which generates a lot of heat at the operative site AND inside the electro surgery device.
