Problems solved by technology

Knowing that adapters would require additional equipment in the operating room adds to the complexity of the already complex task required to set up equipment for all typical surgical procedures
Since the adapter is not permanently attached

Embodiment Construction

[0019] The electrosurgical generator 10 shown in FIG. 1 includes a front panel 12 for connecting various conventional electrosurgical tools and accessories, including a foot switch unipolar handpiece 14. The foot switch unipolar handpiece 14 is connected to any one of the conventional 4 mm banana pin connector plug 16, the conventional rolled sheet 0.125AMP additional connector plug 18, or the conventional electrosurgical Bovie#12 accessory connector plug 20. The wire 22 extends from the foot switch unipolar handpiece 14 to any one of the connector plugs 16, 18 or 20 connected to the handpiece 14. Due to the lack of standardization of connector plugs for use with foot switch unipolar handpieces in electrosurgery, any one of the connector plugs 16, 18 or 20 can be connected to the foot switch unipolar handpiece 14 . The present invention relates to a multi-plug connector device 24 located in the socket 26 formed in the front panel 12, which can directly mechanically accept and dire...

Abstract

Each of a banana pin connector plug, a rolled sheet metal connector plug and a Bovie connector plug are electrically and mechanically connected an electrosurgical generator with a single adapter-less multi-plug connector device. These three connector plugs are prevalently used to connect foot-switched monopolar electrosurgical handpieces to the generator. A socket is moved into a position to connect to the banana pin connector plug, and the socket is moved out of position to permit a contact arm to move into contact with the rolled sheet metal connector plug and the Bovie connector plug.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to electrosurgery, and more specifically, to a new and improved electrical connector device and method for unipolar electrosurgical handhelds that can accept foot switches of multiple different types of electrical connector plugs Parts and tools, thereby avoiding the need to use adapters to connect different types of handpieces and tools to the electrosurgical generator. Background technique [0002] Electrosurgery involves the application of relatively high voltage, radio frequency (RF) electrical power to the tissue of the patient undergoing treatment to remove the tissue, coagulate or prevent blood or fluid from flowing out of the tissue, or simultaneously remove or coagulate the tissue. The high voltage, RF electrical power is generated by an electrosurgical generator, and the electrical power from the generator is applied to the tissue from the tool or handpiece operated by the surgeon during the surgical procedu...
