1. A return pad for use with an electrosurgical system, comprising:
- a conductive layer;
a contact layer disposed on the conductive layer and configured to engage patient skin;
a cooling section disposed on the conductive layer and configured to reduce the temperature of at least one of the contact layer and the conductive layer; and
a backing layer disposed on the cooling section and adapted to allow heat to dissipate therethrough,wherein the conductive layer, contact layer and cooling section are substantially coterminous.
