Bipolar combination device that automatically adjusts pressure based on energy modality

A surgical system, comprising:

• an end effector including a clamp arm operable to clamp tissue;
• and
• a control circuit couplable to the end effector and a generator that is operable to deliver first and second energy modalities to the end effector, wherein the control circuit is operable to:
• provide, via the end effector, the first energy modality to the tissue;
• provide, via the end effector, the second energy modality to the tissue;
• and
• apply, with the clamp arm, a compressive force to the tissue based on a proportion of the first energy modality to the second energy modality.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

• provide, via an end effector;
• a first energy modality to a tissue;
• provide, via the end effector, a second energy modality to the tissue;
• and
• apply, with a clamp arm of the end effector, a compressive force to the tissue based on a proportion of the first energy modality to the second energy modality.
