摘要:
An electrosurgical instrument (402) for delivering radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic (EM) energy and microwave frequency EM energy from a coaxial feed cable (406) through an instrument tip into tissue. The instrument tip comprises a dielectric body (416) separating first and second conductive elements, which act as active and return electrodes to convey the RF EM radiation by conduction, and as an antenna to radiate the microwave EM radiation. The instrument also has a fluid feed (424) incorporated into its tip, e.g. in an additional dielectric element (422) mounted on the underside of the tip, for delivering fluid. The delivered fluid may be a gas plasma to assist treatment or a liquid to plump up a tissue region before treatment. The instrument may fit in an endoscope.

Presented are an apparatus, method and electrosurgical device for surgical procedures. An exemplary apparatus includes a body comprising a longitudinal axis and an electrical wire maintained within the body extending along the longitudinal axis, and an electrode extending from a distal end of the body operably coupled to the electrical wire, the electrode with the electrical wire operable to conduct a flow of current at a plurality of levels. The apparatus further includes a first button arranged on an external surface of the body, the first button operable for selecting the flow of current at each one of the plurality of levels through the electrical wire and the electrode, and a second button arranged on the external surface of the body adjacent the first button, the second button operable activate and deactivate the flow of current to the electrode.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a visualization apparatus (1) comprising a signal processor (2) for processing measurement signals from an ultrasound measurement (3) and a rendering device (4) coupled to a processor for rendering a representation for discerning a region of tissue with changed property (42) upon energy application to the tissue from a region with unchanged property (41) within two extremities (44,47) of the representation indicative of two boundaries defining the tissue thickness. The rendering of the tissue with changed property (42) and the tissue with unchanged property (41) with different visual aspects is readily absorbable by a person who applies energy to the tissue.
摘要:
A device and system for removing tissue such as polyps is provided and includes a tubular member having proximal and distal ends, a snare portion operably extending from within the distal end of the tubular member and including first and second electrodes configured to treat tissue therebetween, the snare portion further including a cutting member for severing the treated tissue. The tissue removal device may further include a handle portion operativeiy extending from within the proximal end of the tubular member, The handle portion may be configured for operable engagement by a user and the cutting member may extend between distal ends of the first and second electrodes.

An electrosurgical medical device comprising: (i) a handheld device (1) including a housing (3) and a powered element (2) within the housing; (ii) a battery pack (30), wherein the handheld device is connected by an external cable (20) to a functional system (40), wherein the battery pack is attached to the external cable, and wherein the battery pack supplies power to the powered element.
摘要:
This invention relates to the treatment of a patient's lung, for example, a lung exhibiting chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and in particular to methods and devices for affecting lung volume reduction, preferably for achieving acute or immediate lung volume reduction following treatment. The lung volume reduction is effected by delivering a condensable vapor at a temperature above body temperature to the desired regions of the patient's lung to damage tissue therein. Blood flow and air flow to the damaged tissue region is essentially terminated, rendering the target region non-functional. Alternative energy sources may be used to effect the thermal damage to the lung tissue.
