    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for creating transmural ablations in heart tissue which, for example, may include two or more electrodes adapted to be connected to opposite poles of a bipolar RF generator so as to energize the electrodes to ablate cardiac tissue between the electrodes. A first electrode may be inserted into cardiac tissue at a first location and a second electrode may be inserted into cardiac tissue at a second location which is spaced from the first location. At least one of the electrodes may be adapted to provide a sufficiently low current density in the vicinity of the electrode to avoid substantial tissue desiccation when energized. Alternatively, the apparatus may include at least one bipolar ablation electrode which comprises an elongated conductive member of spiral shape having a pitch sufficiently small to provide sufficient surface area to avoid substantial desiccation of tissue when energized by a bipolar RF generator.

    摘要: A surgical dissector comprising an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. A blunt dissection tip is positioned on the distal end of the elongate shaft. A light source emits a diffuse visible energy, such as white light, from the blunt tip. The shaft may take a variety of shapes, including being rigid, flexible, malleable, straight, bent, curved, articulated, and/or segmented. In addition, the shaft may include one or more functional components. The dissector can be used to locate the dissector tip by observing the visible energy passing through tissue. In addition, the visible energy passing through tissue may be used to differentiate tissue.

    摘要: A grasper (10) is provided having a handle (18) with an elongated shaft (20) secured thereto. First and second jaw members (22, 24) with opposed clamping surfaces are secured to the shaft (20), with one jaw member being slidably secured with respect to the other jaw member. The jaw members (212, 24) are relatively movable by an actuator (26) between an open position and a closed position. A resilient member (46) is associated with at least one of the first or second jaw members (22, 24) or the actuator (26) limits the force exerted on tissue held between the clamping surfaces of the jaws (22, 24) when the jaws (22, 24) are in the closed position. The jaws (22, 24) are preferably, but not necessarily, pivotal relative to the elongated shaft (20) by remote actuation.
