The even more powerful electrosurgical unit MD3 offers, when compared to the MD1, additional power and a bipolar cutting mode. The MD3 provides five different types of current: two cutting functions (1 x 80, 1 x 70 Watt) as well as two coagulation functions (1 x 70 Watt, 1 x 50 Watt), furthermore one bipolar coagulation function with 70 Watt. On top of this, the MD3 offers a quick performance reduction by pushing the micro-switch. Within the micro mode, maximum performance is reduced to 30 Watt within cutting mode, and to 30 and 20 Watt respectively, within coagulation mode. The additional bipolar plug allows for numerous connecting devices to be used and with that, all advantages the bipolar technique stands for.
