    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: An electrosurgical apparatus is provided having a shaft, a handle, and at least one porous electrode. The shaft is coupled to the handle and the at least one porous electrode is coupled to a distal tip of the shaft. The at least one porous electrode conducts energy provided to the distal tip and enables fluid provided to the distal tip to pass or flow through the porous structure of the at least one electrode, such that the electrosurgical energy and the fluid are simultaneously applied to patient tissue adjacent to the at least one porous electrode. The shaft is rotatable relative to the handle of the electrosurgical apparatus to change the orientation of the at least one porous electrode relative to the handle. The shaft is extendable or retractable relative to the handle to increase or decrease the distance between the at least one porous electrode and the handle

    Abstract: A skin status monitoring apparatus that includes one or more sensors for sensing the applied energy density to an operative site in real time based on one or more monitored variables is provided. Based on the sensed applied energy density, the applied power level of the cold plasma beam may be adjusted, such that, the applied energy density to the operative site remains within the beneficial range that achieves the desired physiological effect to the operative site. The skin status monitoring apparatus of the present disclosure may be coupled to a distal end of an electrosurgical device capable of generating cold plasma.

    Abstract: An electrosurgical apparatus including a robotic tip is provided. The electrosurgical apparatus includes a plurality of actuators and hinging members. The robotic tip includes a retractable electrode. The actuators are coupled to the hinging members via a plurality of pulling mechanisms, such that, one or more of the actuators is rotated to selectively pull one or more of the plurality of pulling mechanisms to pivot and rotate the robotic tip and/or extend and retract the electrode. The electrode is coupled to a gas source and an energy source, such that, the electrode can produce plasma for use in surgical applications.
