Figure 4From: Research and development of a new RF-assisted device for bloodless rapid transection of the liver: Computational modeling and in vivo experimentsTheoretical model considered in the computer modeling study (out of scale). The sketch only shows the symmetry plane cutting the applicator (handle + electrode + blade). Physical dimensions of the applicator correspond with those of the real device, while the tissue dimensions (depth is not shown but is identical to A) were calculated by means of a convergence analysis. Thermal (blue) and electrical (red) boundary conditions are also shown.Back to article page
