active electrode - Answers - In monopolar electrosurgery, the return electrode in clinical
use is the grounding pad.
Current flows from the generator through the electrosurgical tip to the patient and then
onto the grounding pad, where it is dispersed.
• Current leaves the pad to return to the generator to complete the circuit.
In monopolar electrosurgery, the patient is the source of
impedance.
• Tissue impedance converts electric current into thermal energy that causes tissue
temperatures to rise, creating electrosurgery's tissue effects.
