Patent number: 9770285Abstract: An electrosurgical apparatus including an automatic applicator identifier used to communicate between an applicator and a generator unit, automatically presetting various values, is provided. These values may be stored in a one-wire serial memory storage device located in the applicator or connector coupled to the applicator. Communication from the applicator to the generator unit of these values is affected by a one-wire serial communication protocol. This information can be transferred over a direct electrical path through the connector that attaches that applicator to the generator unit, or instead by a wireless link.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2015Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: Bovie Medical CorporationInventors: Arik Zoran, Gregory A.

Patent number: 8696663Abstract: An electrosurgical device is provided for removing polyps from the gastrointestinal tract of a patient. In one implementation, an electrosurgical device comprises a snare support member and a snare positioning assembly mounted on an exterior surface of the snare support member. The snare positioning assembly has a longitudinal axis substantially parallel with and offset from the longitudinal axis of the snare support member. The device also includes a base member attached to a distal end of the snare support member and has a longitudinal axis substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the snare support member. An aperture is formed through a side wall of the base member. Also included is a polyp snare extending through a first channel of the snare positioning assembly, through the aperture, and through a second channel of the base member.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2007Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Bovie Medical CorporationInventors: Peter Pardoll, Richard Pfahl, Wolfgang Sembach, Arik Zoran
