AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Cutting, burning and condensation produce smoke which may be inhaled by the user and thus may have negative effects on the user
Recently, attempts have been made to increase ventilation in operating rooms to dissipate smoke as it is produced, however, users may still inhale some surgical smoke

Abstract

An electrosurgical device comprising forceps comprising: (i) a first working arm; (ii) a second working arm; (iii) a blade electrode; wherein the electrosurgical device is capable of operating in a first electrical configuration and a second electrical configuration. Switching between configurations, the first electrical configuration causes the electrosurgical device to deliver a first therapeutic current through the first working arm, the second working arm, or both, and the second electrical configuration causes the electrosurgical device to A surgical device delivers a second therapeutic current through the blade electrode; and wherein the electrosurgical device includes a heat pipe in the first working arm, the second working arm, or both.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electrosurgical device comprising: a heat pipe for cooling one or more working arms, one or more electrodes, or both; a heat sink for cooling the one or more working arms and / or electrodes; A fluid exhaust channel for removing smoke from a predetermined area; or a combination thereof. Background technique [0002] Typically, electrosurgical devices have one or more electrodes that are heated when power is passed through the electrodes to perform the surgical procedure. The electrodes can become increasingly hot after a surgical procedure is performed and the heat can be dissipated from the electrosurgical device by convection. As the electrodes heat up, there may be an increased tendency for tissue to stick to the electrodes and / or the working arm. This bonding of tissue can increase the amount of time to perform the surgical procedure, can increase blood loss, damage tissue, or a combination thereof. Some attempt...
