<p>This invention is an electro-surgical blade (12) having an electrically insulating coating (16) narrowly offset from the cutting edge (14), and an optional porous polymeric coating (18) on the cutting edge. The electro-surgical blade (12) exhibits a bimodal temperature profile transversely across the blade, i.e., the blade is relatively hotter at the cutting edges as compared to the sides of the blade.</p> |
