What duty mode is characterized by 100% on time?

The cut duty mode is characterized by 100% on time, meaning that the device provides continuous energy output without interruption. This mode is typically used for precise cutting during surgical procedures, enabling the surgeon to make clean incisions. In cut duty mode, the energy is consistently applied to the tissue, allowing for effective and controlled cutting.

Other modes such as coag duty mode are used for stopping bleeding and would not operate with a 100% on time due to their pulsed nature. Blend duty mode integrates both cutting and coagulation but also does not maintain a continuous 100% on time as it alternates between different energy outputs for both functions. Standby mode, on the other hand, is designed to conserve energy and is not actively delivering power at all times. Understanding the specific functions of these modes helps in selecting the appropriate one for surgical tasks, ensuring effectiveness while minimizing tissue damage.
