Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices, systems and methods for subdermal tissue tightening through soft tissue coagulation and for use in cosmetic surgery applications. The devices, systems and methods of the present disclosure may be used for a minimally invasive application of plasma energy to subcutaneous tissue for the purpose of tightening lax tissue. The present disclosure further provides tissue tightness measurement devices, systems and methods, which are used to determine the tightness of tissue. The measurements obtained by the tissue tightness measurement devices and/or systems are used to determine when a desired tissue tightness has been achieved during a tissue tightening procedure.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices, systems and methods for subdermal tissue tightening through soft tissue coagulation and for use in cosmetic surgery applications. The devices, systems and methods of the present disclosure may be used for a minimally invasive application of plasma energy to subcutaneous tissue for the purpose of tightening lax tissue. The present disclosure further provides several elasticity measurement devices, which are used to determine the elasticity of a tissue. The measurements obtained by the elasticity measurement devices are used to determine when a desired firmness or elasticity has been achieved during a tissue tightening procedure.

Abstract: An electrosurgical apparatus is provided including a connector, a flexible shaft, and a distal tip. The connector may further be coupled to an electrosurgical generator and gas supply. The distal tip of the electrosurgical apparatus may be grasped by a grasping tool, such that the orientation and position of the distal tip relative to the shaft may be manipulated to achieve a plurality of positions. The electrosurgical apparatus provides electrosurgical energy and inert gas to an electrode within the distal tip of the electrosurgical apparatus to generate a plasma beam. In one aspect, the distal tip is configured as a sheath that is extendable and retractable over the electrode to expose the electrode when the sheath is in a first position and conceal or cover the electrode when the sheath is in a second position.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices, systems and methods for calculating the amount of energy delivered to tissue during an electrosurgical treatment. The present disclosure provides for a power supply that supplies electrosurgical energy to an applicator via a radio frequency (RF) output stage, a memory that stores at least one energy quantification function that determines an amount of energy delivered to patient tissue by the applicator and a controller that controls the power supply based on a selected power setting and determines the amount of energy delivered to the patient tissue based on the energy quantification function and the selected power setting. The controller counts the energy delivered to the patient tissue based on the selected power setting and a duration of activation time of the applicator at the selected power setting and displays the energy delivered in Joules.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to devices, systems, and methods for sensing and discerning whether a distal portion of a fat grafting cannula or probe is disposed in fat tissue or muscle tissue during fat grafting procedures. In one aspect of the present disclosure, a fat grafting cannula or probe is provided including first and second electrodes. Each electrode is coupled to a circuit, e.g., disposed in an electrosurgical generator. During a fat grafting procedure, the electrodes contact patient tissue. Based on signals received from each electrode, the circuit is configured to determine whether a distal portion of the fat grafting cannula is disposed in a fat tissue or muscle tissue. If the circuit determines that the fat grafting cannula is disposed in muscle tissue, the surgeon operating the fat grafting cannula is alerted to ensure that processed fat is not injected into the muscle tissue of the patient.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are provided for subdermal tissue tightening through soft tissue coagulation and for use in cosmetic surgery applications. The devices, systems and methods of the present disclosure may be used for a minimally invasive application of helium-based cold plasma energy to subcutaneous tissue for the purpose of tightening lax tissue. In various aspects of the present disclosure, distal tips, each including at least one port for applying plasma to patient tissue are provided for use with an electrosurgical apparatus.
