ELECTROSURGICAL SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An electrosurgical system for performing surgical procedures on body tissue of a patient comprising:
- an electrosurgical generator; and
an electrosurgical tool comprising a memory module storing tool data; and
wherein the electrosurgical generator is configured to receive the tool data from the memory module and apply an electrosurgical signal profile to the electrosurgical tool based on the tool data.

Abstract
An electrosurgical system can include an electrosurgical generator, a feedback circuit or controller, and an electrosurgical tool. The feedback circuit can provide an electrosurgery endpoint by determining the phase end point of a tissue to be treated. The electrosurgical system can include more than one electrosurgical tool for different electrosurgical operations and can include a variety of user interface features and audio/visual performance indicators. The electrosurgical system can also power conventional bipolar electrosurgical tools and direct current surgical appliances.
