Patent number: 8888770Abstract: The invention is concerned with cauterizing and resecting tissue. A pair of electrodes are placed on opposed tissue surfaces, and radio frequency power is applied through the electrodes to cauterizing a tissue mass therebetween. After cauterization has been effected, the tissue may be resected along a plane within the cauterized region with minimum or no bleeding. The tissue mass may then be removed.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2011Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Aesculap AGInventors: Joseph Eder, Camran Nezhat, Benjamin Theodore Nordell, II

Patent number: 7803156Abstract: The invention provides a surgical electrocautery method and apparatus that achieves sealing along the entire tissue length, and that also is able to deliver adequate force to produce an effective electrocautery seal. This problem is solved by using an incompressible fluid contained in a sac or sacs positioned to support the one or more electrodes used for electrocauterization. The profile of the electrodes thus conforms to the tissue surface and thickness variations, while exerting an optimized pressure along the entire length of the surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2006Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: Aragon Surgical, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Eder, Benjamin Theodore Nordell, II, Peter Seth Edelstein

Patent number: 7525426Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for locating and tracking persons by use of an implantable device. The described invention is an implantable device composed of biocompatible materials in all areas where contact with organic tissue occurs. The gross anatomic siting of the device includes any limb, the torso, including back and perineum, the neck, and the head. The surgical anatomic siting of the device includes: (1) Supramuscular: for example, deep to the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous fat, on or attached to muscle and/or muscle fascia. Such a location is currently used for implantation of commercially available buried intravenous access ports, which are positioned on, and attached to, the pectoralis major muscle fascia; (2) Intramuscular: for example, within or between the muscles of a limb; (3) Submuscular: for example, deep to a large muscle.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2006Date of Patent: April 28, 2009Assignee: Persephone, Inc.Inventors: Peter Seth Edelstein, Benjamin Theodore Nordell, II
