US Patent:

20030036753, Feb 20, 2003

Filed:

Apr 9, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/119671

Inventors:

Roy Morgan - San Jose CA, US
Wayne Auge - Santa Fe NM, US
N. Prakash - Campbell CA, US

International Classification:

A61B018/14

US Classification:

606/032000, 606/041000, 606/045000, 606/049000

Abstract:

Method and devices for electrosurgery by means of oxy-hydro combustion. Deleterious effects to tissue are minimized by means of control of acid-base shift reactions, which reactions can further be employed to control oxy-hydro combustion reactions. In one embodiment, radiofrequency energy in electrical connection with electrodes is employed to induce electrolysis in an aqueous salt environment, thereby producing oxygen and hydrogen, with the same energy source employed to initiate a combustion reaction.

International Classification:

A61B018/18

US Classification:

606032000, 606041000

Abstract:

Devices and methods for electrolytic electrosurgery wherein a detector is located proximal to an active electrode on an electrosurgical probe, optionally disposed between the active electrode and a return electrode, the detector detecting at least on parameter relating to electrolysis. The detected parameter can include pH concentration, temperature, conductivity, impedance, ion, concentration, electrolytic gas consumption, electrolytic gas production, pressure or sound. The detected parameter can be employed in control systems to control systems to control activation or operation of the electrosurgical probe.
