US Patent:
8066700, Nov 29, 2011
Filed:
Nov 30, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/999230
Inventors:
Kobi Iki - San Carlos CA, US
William M. Ambrisco - Mountain View CA, US
Douglas M. Lorang - Ripon CA, US
Alan P. Gannon - Amesbury MA, US
Richard M. Ranalli - Berwick ME, US
Mathew E. Mitchell - Pelham NH, US
Marie Meyer - Lawrence MA, US
Mark Markel - Middleton WI, US
Yan Lu - Fitchburg WI, US
Assignee:
Smith & Nephew, Inc. - Memphis TN
International Classification:
A61B 18/14
US Classification:
606 41, 606 46
Abstract:
An electrosurgical instrument includes a shaft, a flexible portion, and a head coupled to the shaft through the flexible portion and pivotably coupled to the flexible portion. The head includes a non-conductive surface and an electrically conductive surface. The flexible portion is configured to bias the non-conductive surface and the electrically conductive surface towards a tissue surface, such as cartilage. The non-conductive surface may include a material having a thermal conductivity less than or equal to about 30 W/m*K and/or a volume resistivity greater than or equal to about 1×10ohm*cm. The non-conductive surface may include a ceramic such as Macor ceramic, ZTA ceramic, and/or 99. 5% alumina ceramic.

US Patent:
8377058, Feb 19, 2013
Filed:
May 27, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/117800
Inventors:
Kobi Iki - San Carlos CA, US
William M. Ambrisco - Mountain View CA, US
Douglas M. Lorang - Ripon CA, US
Alan P. Gannon - Amesbury MA, US
Richard M. Ranalli - Berwick ME, US
Mathew E. Mitchell - Pelham NH, US
Mark Markel - Middleton WI, US
Assignee:
Smith & Nephew, Inc. - Memphis TN
International Classification:
A61B 18/14
US Classification:
606 41, 606 46
Abstract:
An electrosurgical instrument for ablating cartilage while limiting collateral damage includes a non-conducting head with a small electrically conductive surface. The head of the instrument is coupled to a shaft by a flexible portion. The flexible portion biases the electrically conductive surface towards a tissue surface. The head is pivotably coupled to the shaft such that the electrically conductive surface is oriented substantially parallel to the tissue surface as the head slides across the tissue surface. A method of performing electrosurgery includes positioning the electrically conductive surface adjacent to the tissue surface, and sliding the shaft across the tissue surface with the head pivoting such that the electrically conductive surface is oriented substantially parallel to the tissue surface.

International Classification:
A61B 18/14
US Classification:
606 41, 606 46
Abstract:
An electrosurgical instrument for ablating cartilage while limiting collateral damage includes a non-conducting head with a small electrically conductive surface. The head of the instrument is coupled to a shaft by a flexible portion. The flexible portion biases the electrically conductive surface towards a tissue surface. The head is pivotably coupled to the shaft such that the electrically conductive surface is oriented substantially parallel to the tissue surface as the head slides across the tissue surface.

US Patent:
20040030330, Feb 12, 2004
Filed:
Aug 22, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/381746
Inventors:
James Brassell - Boulder CO, US
Steven Ek - Bolton MA, US
Keith Foskitt - Westford MA, US
Alan Gannon - Amesbury MA, US
Warren Heim - Boulder CO, US
Richard Lansil - Woburn MA, US

International Classification:
A61B018/14
US Classification:
606/041000, 606/048000, 606/050000
Abstract:
A surgical device includes a return electrode, an active electrode, and an insulating region adjacent to the active electrode. A rasping surface is provided by either the active electrode or the insulating region. Another surgical device includes an adapter configured to couple to a generator and to convert monopolar output from the generator into bipolar output. A method of applying electricity to tissue includes bringing a surgical device into close proximity with tissue and applying electricity to the tissue using the surgical device.
