    摘要: Various embodiments provide an electrosurgical instrument with a disposable electrosurgical cartridge. In one embodiment, the cartridge has first and second energy-delivery surfaces that carry first and second opposing polarity conductors coupled to a voltage source, together with first and second temperature-responsive variable impedance bodies exposed partly in the respective-delivery surfaces. The cartridge further carries a slidable blade member. The temperature-responsive variable impedance bodies are coupled to the voltage source by series and parallel circuitry. In use, the variable impedance bodies are adapted to modulate current flow and ohmic heating in engaged tissue by providing controlled current paths in the tissue and through the variable impedance bodies as the temperature-responsive bodies sense the temperature of adjacent engaged tissue. The engagement surfaces are capable of highly localized modulation of Rf energy application to engaged tissue to provide high and low temperatures, voltage and current in the tissue to create high strength welds.

More particularly, embodiments of the invention relate to instruments and methods for controllably restoring vertebral body height by controlling the flow of bone cement into the interior of a vertebra and the application of forces causes by the cement flow. An exemplary system utilizes Rf energy in combination a conductive bone cement for selectively polymerizing the inflow plume to increase the viscosity of the cement. In one aspect of the invention, the system utilizes a controller to control bone cement flow parameters to either allow or disallow cement interdigitation into cancellous bone.

    摘要: A system for treating an abnormal vertebral body such as a compression fracture. In an exemplary embodiment, the system includes a biocompatible flow-through implant structure configured with a three-dimensional interior web that defines flow openings therein for cooperating with a two-part hardenable bone cement. The flow-through structure is capable of compacted and extended shapes and in one embodiment provides a gradient in flow openings for controlling flow parameters of a bone cement injected under high pressure into the interior thereof. The flow-through implant structure is configured for transducing cement injection forces into a selected direction for moving apart cortical endplates of a vertebra to reduce a fracture. In one embodiment, the flow-through implant structure is coupled to an Rf source for applying Rf energy to a two-part bone cement to accelerate curing of the cement to thereby allow on-demand alterations of cement viscosity. The Rf system allows for control of bone cement polymerization globally or regionally to prevent cement extravasion and to direct forces applied to a vertebra to reduce a fracture.

    摘要: A working end of a surgical instrument that carries first and second jaws for delivering energy to tissue. In a preferred embodiment, at least one jaw of the working end defines a tissue-engagement plane that contacts the targeted tissue. The cross-section of the engagement plane reveals that it defines a surface conductive portion that overlies a variably resistive matrix of a temperature-sensitive resistive material or a pressure-sensitive resistive material. An interior of the jaw carries a conductive material or electrode that is coupled to an Rf source and controller. In an exemplary embodiment, the variably resistive matrix can comprise a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) material, such as a ceramic, that is engineered to exhibit a dramatically increasing resistance (i.e., several orders of magnitude) above a specific temperature of the material.
