ABSTRACT:
An improved electrode for use in medical procedures requiring tissue removal. At least one gear shaped element is provided and mounted onto a distal tip region of a wire loop electrode. The gear shaped element distributes current at a tissue/electrode interface and enables the electrode to cut through substantial quantities of tissue while simultaneously creating a substantial rim of coagulation within an area of cut tissue.
