Bipolar electrosurgical instrument with replaceable electrodes
Dale Francis Schmaltz,Robert Luzzi,David Nicholas Heard,Steven Paul Buysse,Kate Ryland Lawes,Daniel Lee Ii Trimberger,Mathew Erle Mitchell,Jenifer Serafin Kennedy +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a bipolar electrosurgical instrument for vessel sealing comprises first and second members connected by a pivot, and the instrument further comprises interlocking ratchets designed to hold a constant closure force between the seal surfaces.
Patent
Bipolar electrosurgical instrument for sealing vessels
Steven Paul Buysse,Dale Francis Schmaltz,Robert Luzzi,Kirk Bryan Olson,Kate Ryland Lawes,II Daniel Lee Trimberger,Mathew Erle Mitchell,Jenifer Serafin Kennedy +7 more
TL;DR: A bipolar electrosurgical instrument with opposable seal surfaces on its jaws for grasping and sealing vessels and vascular tissue is described in this paper, where an open lockbox provides a pivot with lateral support to maintain alignment of the lateral surfaces.
Patent
Method and system for controlling output of RF medical generator
Steven Paul Buysse,Bret Felton,David N. Heard,David Keppel,Ronald J. Podhajsky,Dale Francis Schmaltz,Robert H. Wham,Edward C. Meagher,Kate Ryland Lawes,David A. Schechter,Chelsea Shields,Philip M. Tetzlaff,Jeremy S. James +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, a closed-loop control system for an electrosurgical generator that generates electrosurgery energy is described, which includes a user interface for selecting at least one pre-surgical parameter, such as the type of surgical instrument operatively connected to the generator, type of tissue and the desired surgical effect.
Patent
Energizable surgical tool safety device and method
Gregory J. Bell,Jeffrey L. Eggleston,Kamala J. Grasso,Jenifer Serafin Kennedy,Dale Francis Schmaltz,Kenneth D. Taylor +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a surgical safety apparatus for use in connection with an energizable surgical device prevents inadvertent activation of a surgical tool, such as a laser scalpel, an ultrasonic aspirator, and combinations thereof.
Patent
Motion detector for controlling electrosurgical output
TL;DR: In this article, an electrosurgical instrument with a movement sensing device for controlling the output of a generator is described. But the sensor detects movement of the electrically conductive element and communicates a signal to the generator relating to the movements of the element.
