Abstract

An electrosurgical system is provided and includes an electrosurgical instrument and an electrosurgical generator. The electrosurgical system obtains information about the tissue undergoing a sealing process in order to calculate information about the tissue undergoing the sealing process and, in real-time, modify the RF energy being provided to the electrosurgical instrument from the electrosurgical generator. In this way, the electrosurgical system manages the supply of RF energy to optimally seal different types of tissue. The electrosurgical instrument is configured to seal the tissue using the RF energy.
