  • Flow blocking electrode
    Patent number: 11234753
    Abstract: An electrosurgical wand is disclosed. The electrosurgical wand includes a handle that defines a proximal end of the electrosurgical wand. The electrosurgical wand includes an elongate shaft coupled to the handle; the elongate shaft defines a suction lumen therein. The electrosurgical wand also includes an electrically insulative spacer (404) coupled to the distal end of the elongate shaft, whereby the spacer defines a suction channel (412) fluidly coupled to the suction lumen. The electrosurgical wand includes a first means for blocking defined by the spacer, an active electrode (402) coupled on the distal end of the spacer and a second means for blocking associated with the active electrode and in operational relationship to the first means for blocking. In the electrosurgical wand, the first means for blocking includes an annular trough (416) that fully encircles the suction channel of the spacer and the second means for blocking includes an annular wall (414).

  • Systems and Processes for Creating Dual-Media Images
    Publication number: 20130201323
    Abstract: Systems and processes for creating dual-media images. More specifically, implementations provide processes for capturing an image of a subject as viewed from within one media and another image of the subject as viewed from within another media. The images can be synchronized and combined to create a dual-media image of the subject. Embodiments provide systems, apparatus, etc. for creating dual-media images from images of a subject as captured from within different media.
