Description
TITLESYNCHRONIZER FOR ELECTROCAUTERYCROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 688,848, filed on August 29th, 2024. The content of the application is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] 1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The present disclosure relates to a synchronizer for electrocautery, and more particularly to a synchronizer integrating an electrocautery controller and an evacuation controller for achieving management of electrocauterization and evacuation simultaneously under electrocauterization surgery.
[0004] 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
[0005] Electrocautery is a surgical procedure using heat from an electric current to remove or cut abnormal tissue, control bleeding during surgery or after an injury, and prevent infection. Conventional electrocautery device (or thermocautery unit) usually includes an electrode, a handpiece, and a generator, and is operated by an activation switch on the handpiece or a foot switch during the electrocautery. The electric current passes through the electrode, and the tip of the electrode is heated to remove or cut abnormal tissue by direct transferring the heat to the tissue. However, smoke and / or body fluid might be generated during the electrocautery, blocking the view of the surgical site and affecting the health of the healthcare workers.
[0006] Moreover, the activation of evacuation and the electrocauterization are often controlled and disposed independently in these electrocautery devices. For example, the healthcare workers may need to manage to modulate the evacuation and the electrocauterization by the activation switch on the handpiece and the foot switch, respectively, making the surgical procedure complicate and distracting the healthcare workers.
[0007] In view of the foregoing, there is an unmet need in the art to provide a novel electrocautery device being able to solve the aforementioned problems.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0008] To solve the aforementioned problems, the present disclosure provides a synchronizerfor electrocautery, including a grip and an electrode unit coupled with the grip. The grip includes a first inner substrate; a second inner substrate coupled and aligned with the first inner substrate to form an internal channel; a circuit board having a coagulation switch and coupled with the first inner substrate; a pivot disposed on the first inner substrate; and a lever unit. The internal channel has a first opening, used to allow a first airflow to pass into the internal channel; a second opening in opposite to the first opening and used to couple with an evacuation device; and the third opening between the first opening and the second opening, and used to allow a second airflow to pass into the internal channel. The first opening, the second opening, and the third opening are in communication with each other. The evacuation device may be used to provide a third airflow, and the third airflow is a sum of the first airflow and the second airflow. A lever unit has a proximal end, disposed on the first inner substrate and coupled with the pivot; a distal end, aligned with the third opening; and a first protruding point located between the proximal end and the distal end and aligned with the coagulation switch. The lever unit is used to reciprocate based on the pivot. The electrode unit includes an electrode partially disposed within the internal channel, and coupled with the circuit board.
[0009] In at least one embodiments of the present disclosure, the synchronizer for electrocautery is able to remove surgical smoke and / or body fluid, to regulate suction flow rate based on the electrocautery state, to reduce unnecessary smoke and / or body fluid evacuation, and to synchronize an evacuation mode and a electrocauterization mode, allowing to remain the steady state of the intra-abdominal pressure and manage the evacuation mode and the electrocauterization mode in an optimal and an efficient manner.

As shown in FIG. 3 A, the synchronizer EES includes a grip 2 and a cable 3. An evacuation device 5 is connected to an internal channel 22 of the grip 2. The grip 2 includes a first outer substrate 21 having a fifth opening 211 and sixth opening 212, in order to fit a cutting button 245 and a coagulation button243, respectively; first inner substrate 22A having a third opening 223; second inner substrate 22B; circuit board 23 having a cutting switch 231 and a coagulation 232; a lever unit 24; a pivot 244; a conductive unit 25; a second waterproof cover 26; an elastic unit 27; valve unit 28; a second outer substrate 29 having a seven opening 291; and a plug 292. The lever unit 24 includes a distal end 241D, a proximal end 241P, a first protruding point 242, the coagulation button 243, the cutting button 245, a second protruding point 246, a first waterproof cover 247. The first inner substrate 22A and the second inner substrate 22B is coupled and aligned with each other in order to the internal channel 22. The internal channel 22 includes a first opening 221 and a second opening 222.
[0051] In comparison to FIG. 3 A, an electrode 12 covered by a sleeve 11 and disposed in a first opening 221 of internal channel 22 is shown in FIG. 3B. The description of the remaining components illustrated in FIG. 3B is the same as aforementioned paragraph for FIG. 3 A and will not be repeated here.
[0052] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the conductive unit 25 and the elastic unit 27 may be a spring, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the material of the distal end 24 ID may be silicone, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first protruding point 242 and the coagulation button 243 may be an one-piece / integrated unit, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0053] Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a cross-sectional side view of a synchronizer EES under a weak evacuation mode. The components illustrated in FIG. 4 are described in the aforementioned paragraphs for FIG. 1 to FIG. 3B and will not be repeated here. During an electrocautery, the evacuation device 5 is enabled and the plug 292 is removed, and the coagulation button 243 is not pressed by the user’s finger UF. Therefore, a first airflow Fl flows into the internal channel 22 via the first opening 221; and a second airflow F2 flows into the internal channel 22 via the seventh opening 291, the third opening 223, and the fourth opening 122, allowing the synchronizer EES to function the weak evacuation mode. The valve unit 28 is used to regulate suction force of the evacuation device 5.
[0054] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first airflow Fl and the second airflow F2 may include a smoke and / or body fluid generated during an electrocautery, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0055] Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a cross-sectional side view of a synchronizer EES under a strong evacuation mode. The components illustrated in FIG. 5 are described in the aforementioned paragraphs for FIG. 1 to FIG. 3B and will not be repeated here. During an electrocautery, the evacuation device 5 is enabled and the plug 292 is removed, and the coagulation button 243 is pressed by the user’s finger UF in a first order (e,g., the user slightly presses the coagulation button 243), allowing the distal end 24 ID of the lever unit 24 to block the third opening 223 based on the pivot 244. Therefore, only the first airflow Fl flows into the internal channel 22 via the first opening 221, allowing the synchronizer EES to function the strong evacuation mode. The elastic unit 27 is compressed by the second protruding point 246. The valve unit 28 is used to regulate suction force of the evacuation device 5.
[0056] Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a cross-sectional side view of a synchronizer EES under a strong evacuation mode and a coagulation mode. The components illustrated in FIG. 6 are described in the aforementioned paragraphs for FIG. 1 to FIG. 3B and will not be repeated here. During an electrocautery, the evacuation device 5 is enabled and the plug 292 is removed, and the coagulation button 243 is pressed by the user’s finger UF in a second order (e,g., the user heavily presses the coagulation button 243), allowing the distal end 24 ID of the lever unit 24 to block the third opening 223 and the coagulation switch 232 is pressed and activated by the first protruding point 242 based on the pivot 244. Therefore, only the first airflow Fl flows into the internal channel 22 via the first opening 221 and the electrical signal of coagulation is transferred from the coagulation switch 232 to the electrode 12 via the conductive unit 25, allowing the synchronizer EES to function the strong evacuation mode and the coagulation mode. The elastic unit 27 is compressed by the second protruding point 246. The valve unit 28 is used to regulate suction force of the evacuation device 5.
[0057] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the conductive unit 25 is electrically connected continuously, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0058] A novel synchronizer EES being able to remove surgical smoke and / or body fluid, to regulate suction flow rate based on the electrocautery state, to reduce unnecessary smoke and / orbody fluid evacuation, and to synchronize an evacuation mode and a electrocauterization mode is provided in the present disclosure. The novel synchronizer EES not only allows to remain the steady state of the intra-abdominal pressure of the patient but also allows the healthcare workers to manage the evacuation and the electrocauterization in an optimal and an efficient manner at the same time.
[0059] Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the embodiments may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention. Accordingly, the above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the metes and bounds of the appended claims.
