US Patent:
6837888, Jan 4, 2005
Filed:
Feb 25, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/082017
Inventors:
Scott A. Ciarrocca - Stockton NJ, US
Francois Antounian - San Francisco CA, US
Jean Woloszko - Mountain View CA, US
Robert H. Dahla - Sunnyvale CA, US
Assignee:
Arthrocare Corporation - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
A61B 1814
US Classification:
606 41, 606 32, 606 48, 606490, 606 50
Abstract:
The present invention provides systems, apparatus, and methods for dissecting, resecting, severing, cutting, contracting, coagulating, or otherwise modifying a tissue or organ of a patient. An apparatus of the invention includes an electrosurgical probe configurable between an open configuration and a closed configuration, the probe including an active electrode terminal, a fixed return electrode disposed proximal to the active electrode terminal, and a movable return electrode configured to move linearly with respect to the active electrode terminal between the open configuration and the closed configuration. A method of the present invention comprises clamping a blood vessel between the active electrode terminal and the movable return electrode, coagulating the clamped blood vessel by application of a first high frequency voltage, and severing the coagulated blood vessel by application of a second high frequency voltage.

Assignee:
Ethicon, Inc. - Somerville NJ
International Classification:
A61B018/18
US Classification:
606 41, 607101
Abstract:
A medical device is provided and includes an elongated tube that has a longitudinal axis and an expandable member attached to the tube. The expandable member is expandable from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration. A plurality of electrodes is attached to the expandable member. The electrodes are used to emit energy. Each of the electrodes is arranged generally coaxially relative to the tube when the expandable member is in its collapsed and expanded configurations.

US Patent:
7147635, Dec 12, 2006
Filed:
Jan 29, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/767093
Inventors:
Scott Ciarrocca - Stockton NJ, US
Assignee:
Ethicon, Inc. - Somerville NJ
International Classification:
A61B 18/18
US Classification:
606 48, 606 45, 606113
Abstract:
A bipolar electrosurgical instrument including an introducer having a channel therein and an electrically conductive snare slidably positioned within the channel and slidable between an undeployed position wherein it is substantially retracted within the channel and a deployed position wherein a distal portion of the snare extends outwardly from the channel.
