<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrosurgical return electrode pad having various mechanisms and/or circuits adapted to prevent tissue damage to the patient. <P>SOLUTION: The electrosurgical return electrode includes a first and second flexible conductive material layers and a material layer disposed between the first and second conductive material layers. The material layer is transitionable between a solid state and a non-solid state, the material layer is also configured to melt upon an increase in temperature beyond a predetermined threshold, thereby increasing conductivity between the first and second conductive material layer. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
