1. An electrosurgical blade for conveying electrosurgical power to tissue to achieve a predetermined electrosurgical effect, comprising:

  • an electrically conductive element having a first section and a first tapered section terminating at a conductor edge;

    an insulation layer having a second tapered section overlaying the entire conductive element which tapers against a side of the first tapered section to expose the conductor edge at a distalmost end of the blade, forming a primary reaction region, wherein the conductor edge at a distalmost end of the electrically conductive element is flush against the insulation layer; and

    an electrical coupling surface for electrically coupling the electrically conductive element to a handle.
