Patent number: 10327833Abstract: Switches for electrosurgical devices comprising a plurality of electrode sets and related devices, systems, and methods. In some embodiments, a first electrode set may be configured to deliver CUT radiofrequency energy and a second electrode set configured to deliver COAG radiofrequency energy. A switch assembly may be configured to allow for selection between at least three modes, the at least three modes comprising a first, neutral mode, in which the electrosurgical device is configured such that no radiofrequency energy is delivered to either the first electrode set or the second electrode set, a second, CUT mode, in which the electrosurgical device is configured such that CUT radiofrequency energy may be delivered to the first electrode set through the switch assembly, and a third, COAG mode, in which the electrosurgical device is configured such that COAG radiofrequency energy may be delivered to the second electrode set through the switch assembly.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2015Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: TDM Surgitech, Inc.Inventors: Mark Kane, Paul J Weber

Patent number: 10045761Abstract: Methods, apparatus and systems for tissue dissection and testing are disclosed herein. A method for tissue dissection and testing may comprise inserting a tissue dissecting wand (TD) through an incision in a patient's body. The TD may comprise a tip having a plurality of protrusions with lysing segments positioned between the protrusions to dissect and/or modify tissue. The TD may also comprise a sensor dock positioned on top of the TD that is configured to allow tissue and/or body fluid contact to a sensor. After separating tissue using the lysing segment(s) to access a target region, the sensor may be activated and moved around within the target region to assess tissues.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2013Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: TDM Surgitech, Inc.Inventor: Paul Joseph Weber

Publication number: 20150359585Abstract: Apparatus for tissue separation and/or modification. In some embodiments, the apparatus comprises a tip comprising a plurality of protrusions and at least one lysing element positioned between at least two adjacent protrusions. The apparatus may further comprise a spot coagulator comprising a spot coagulator tip for delivering energy for coagulating a blood vessel during a surgical procedure. The spot coagulator tip may be movable with respect to the plurality of protrusions to allow a surgeon to selectively deliver coagulating energy as desired.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2014Publication date: December 17, 2015Applicant: TDM SurgiTech, Inc.Inventor: Paul J. Weber

Patent number: 8968301Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods for tissue dissection and modification are disclosed herein. A method for tissue dissection and modification may comprise inserting a tissue dissecting and modifying wand (TDM) through an incision in a patient's body. The TDM may comprise a tip having a plurality of protrusions with lysing segments positioned between the protrusions to dissect and/or modify tissue. The TDM may also comprise an energy window positioned on top of the TDM that is configured to deliver energy to modify tissues. After separating tissue using the lysing segment(s) to define a target region, the energy window may be activated and moved around within the target region to modify tissues. In some implementations, the energy window may be activated prior to and/or during dissection of the tissue such that the tissue is separated while tissue is modified within the target region.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2013Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: TDM SurgiTech, Inc.Inventor: Paul Joseph Weber
