| The Power of Simplicity and Performance |
• Mega Power's proprietary Advanced Cutting Effect (ACE) mode is designed to provide a scalpel-like cutting effect for minimal thermal necrosis and reduced scarring.
• Large, easy to read displays that are highly visible, even at a distance.
• Constant Control Technology™ monitors tissue impedance and adjusts power output to reduce tissue damage and drag. The result is a smooth, clean, accurate cutting effect at the lowest possible settings for maximum patient safety.
• The Recall feature readily recalls previous power settings and modes upon set-up.

| E-Z CLEAN ptfe vs. stainless steel |
- Eschar build-up on stainless steel cautery tips increases electrical resistance, creating the need for higher power settings. But higher power settings make electrosurgery less efficient and potentially more dangerous.
- Stainless steel tips require stopping and starting during procedures to repeatedly scrape off eschar buildup with scratch pads.
- E-Z Clean green tips only require a wipe from a damp sponge to clean, thus saving the expense and frustration of cleaning with scratch pads.

| E-Z CLEAN ptfe vs. SILICONE (EDGE™ by valleylab, ultraclean® by conmed) |
- During higher-power procedures silicone has a tendency to degrade.
- Little or no coating on the rim of silicone blade causes current to be directed to the edges—producing uneven coagulation and varying depths of thermal necrosis.
- Coagulum buildup is concentrated on the edges of silicone blade where current is directed, leading to eschar buildup.
- PTFE tips evenly distribute energy.

| E-Z CLEAN ptfe vs. Competitive PTFE electrodes |
 - E-Z Clean electrodes are coated with pure PTFE, while economy PTFE tips use filler ingredients like polyurethane to reduce cost as an inexpensive PTFE substitute.
- Polyurethane breaks down at temperatures commonly seen in electrosurgery. E-Z Clean does not.
- The dangers of polyurethane flaking in the human body are unknown. PTFE has an established patient safety record proven over 25 years.
- If economy tips flake, they could slow down the surgeon and cost time and money in the OR.
- In functional testing, economy tips did not perform to the level of Megadyne E-Z Clean electrodes.
