Description

1 TARIFF AI-POWERED MULTIFUNCTIONAL BIPOLAR CAUTION FORCEPS Technological Field: 5 This invention, with its multifunctional design, eliminates the need for unnecessary personnel at the operating table. by reducing and improving the ergonomics of surgical teams, minimizing tissue damage by accelerating the patient's recovery process and extending the lifespan of the forceps a 10 that aims to reduce costs and offers an efficient and effective operational opportunity. It is related to bipolar cautery forceps. State of the Art: Monopolar and bipolar cautery systems are commonly used in surgical procedures. 15 These systems are used. However, these systems have disadvantages in many respects. Monopolar cautery systems affect large tissue areas, thus harming surrounding tissues. It causes unwanted damage and affects tissues other than the target tissue horizontally and vertically. It acts in planes, which makes it less safe for small and delicate target tissues. This causes them to come. Bipolar cautery systems, on the other hand, reduce surrounding tissue damage, 20 It provides more effective shearing and coagulation, but for optimal performance, the target must be met. Tissue wetting and continuous aspiration of accumulated fluid are necessary. These procedures... If not done correctly, the cauterization tip deforms, chars, and tissues stick to the cauterization tip, causing burning. This hinders the process, leading to a constant need for cleaning and prolonging the surgery time. In addition, extra personnel are needed during the surgery to perform these procedures. 25 It is audible, which reduces operational efficiency. Some existing devices combine burning and washing functions (Aquamantys™), however Their effectiveness in minimal tissues is debatable, and they can cause extensive tissue damage. Designed with a fixed, one-piece clamp, this device has no cutting function. 30 and requires continuous aspiration. The Aquamantys™ device is suitable for large tissue areas. 2 It is suitable for use, but is not effective on minimal tissues and is therefore sensitive. It cannot perform as expected in surgical procedures. Devices with aspiration and flushing capabilities, and therefore cutting and coagulation features. There are none. These devices effectively aspirate fluids from the surgical field and irrigate 5 It performs the procedure, but because it lacks a cauterization function, it is not used in surgical procedures. It has limited use. Surgical scissors with cauterization and flushing capabilities perform cauterization, flushing, and aspiration. They offer these features together, but these devices have a bipolar cautery forceps feature. It is not and only has a scissor function, therefore it has pliers arms and a cutting function. They are not available. Although such devices can perform certain functions in the surgical field, It cannot offer a comprehensive solution. Devices like Ligasure™ automatically perform the burning and sealing processes. These are systems that perform this function. These devices provide sufficient explosive pressure for the burned tissue. It uses a computer-assisted method to determine the sealing status, however It operates with manual control and is designed solely for burning and sealing operations. It does not perform the cutting operation automatically and requires manual control. This can distract the surgeon, which can reduce efficiency and 20% of the surgical process. It could negatively impact security. These current technologies do not fully achieve the desired effectiveness and safety in surgical procedures. This is not possible, which reduces the efficiency of surgical procedures and the patient recovery process. This leads to significant problems with negative impacts. 25 Patent application number TR201615234 describes an aspiration cauterization device.
