1. An electrosurgical generator, comprising:
- an output stage configured to generate at least one waveform;
a first input configured to adjust a cut setting representative of a cutting effect of the at least one waveform;
a second input configured to adjust a hemostasis setting representative of a hemostasis effect of the at least one waveform; and
a controller configured to receive cut and hemostasis settings and to adjust at least one of a duty cycle, a crest factor and a power level of the at least one waveform to achieve a combined cutting and hemostasis effect based on the cut and hemostasis settings.

Abstract
An electrosurgical generator is disclosed. The generator includes an output stage configured to generate a waveform, a first input configured to adjust a cut setting representative of a cutting effect of the waveform, and a second input configured to adjust a hemostasis setting representative of a hemostasis effect of the waveform. The generator also includes a controller configured to receive cut and hemostasis settings and to adjust one of a duty cycle, a crest factor and a power level of the waveform to achieve a combined cutting and hemostasis effect based on the cut and hemostasis settings.

12. An electrosurgical system, comprising:
-
an electrosurgical generator, comprising; an output stage configured to generate at least one waveform suitable to impart cutting and hemostasis effects on tissue; a first input configured to adjust a cut setting representative of the cutting effect of the at least one waveform; a second input configured to adjust a hemostasis setting representative of the hemostasis effect of the at least one waveform; and a controller configured to receive cut and hemostasis settings and to adjust at least one parameter of the at least one waveform to achieve a combined cutting and hemostasis effect based on the cut and hemostasis settings; and at least one electrosurgical instrument configured to couple to the electrosurgical generator and to supply the at least one waveform to the tissue. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
