SOFT COAG

The “soft coag” mode desiccates tissue at a relatively slower rate than fulguration, with deeper thermal penetration.4 It is typically performed with a ball
electrode or the flat surface of the spatula electrode.

The soft coag mode introduces new possibilities
over a variety of procedures, including:

Soft coag with irrigation

Soft coag with suction

Plus, it can be used to stop venous oozing.

Soft Coag with Irrigation

Soft Coag with Suction
