Patent
Fluid assisted medical devices, fluid delivery systems and controllers for such devices, and methods
TL;DR: In this article, a fluid from a fluid source, a surgical device which provides energy and the fluid to the tissue, and a control mechanism which changes a flow rate of fluid provided from the surgical device and changes a rate of energy provided by the surgeon.
Patent
Fluid-assisted medical device
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a medical device that includes a housing, a tubular member extending from the distal end of the housing, the first arm including a first electrode, a second arm including an additional electrode, and a solution delivery channel for delivery of a conductive solution to the solution infusion openings.
Patent
Fluid delivery system and controller for electrosurgical devices
TL;DR: In this paper, a system for treating tissue that includes a power measurement device, a flow rate controller coupled to the power measurement devices, and an electrosurgical device configured and arranged to provide radio frequency power and conductive fluid to the tissue, wherein the flow-rate controller is configured to modify the flow rate of the conductive liquid to tissue, based on signals from the power measuring device.

TL;DR: Steam popping can be avoided by selecting power level/lesion diameter combinations and tissue destruction to 20 mm can be safely achieved with short periods of inflow occlusion.
Patent
Surgical devices and methods of use thereof
TL;DR: In this paper, a bipolar electrosurgical device is used to treat tissue in a presence of radio frequency power and a fluid provided simultaneously from a distal portion of the device, with the device comprising a disc shaped distal end.
