Patent number: 7354438Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2005Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignee: MAP Technologies, LLCInventors: Roy E. Morgan, Wayne K. Auge, II, N. Mani Prakash
