摘要:
An electrocautery instrument is provided with a hollow electrode having a source of conductive fluid coupled to a proximal end thereof. Conductive fluid is communicated through said electrode and expelled out of the distal end thereof during electrocautery, forming a "virtual electrode." The infused conductive liquid conducts the RF electrocautery energy away from the conductive electrode, thereby displacing the region of thermal generation and reducing the extent of burns and perforations caused by conventional electrocautery electrodes. In one embodiment, the electrode is partially disposed within and extends distally out of a retractable suction tube, such that smoke and fluid are aspirated from the electrocautery site. When the suction tube is fully advanced, the electrode is concealed therein, enabling suction without electrocautery to be performed.
