Patent number: 5908419Abstract: An electrocautery probe includes a pair of arms between which a roller electrode is rotatably mounted. The arms are joined at their proximal ends to an electrode lead and a mounting sleeve is provided intermediate of the arms and the lead for slideably coupling the probe to a resectoscope. According to one aspect of the invention, the roller electrode includes a cylindrical member having a central bore and an outer surface, and an insert extending longitudinally through the central bore. Preferably the cylindrical member is made of a first conductive material and the insert is made of a second conductive material. The insert has a plurality of corners and an axial bore. The roller electrode is preferably made of stainless steel, while the insert is preferably made of copper or tungsten. The outer diameter of the roller electrode is preferably approximately 0.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 1997Date of Patent: June 1, 1999Assignee: Symbiosis CorporationInventors: Kevin F. Hahnen, Boris Kesler

Patent number: 5902300Abstract: Electrodes for electrocautery probes for use with a resectoscope include full loop electrodes wherein the full loop has a working surface which extends below the axis of the cautery probe and a working surface which extends above the axis of the cautery probe, composite full loop electrodes wherein the upper working surface and the lower working surface have different morphology, combined full loop and roller electrodes wherein one of the upper or lower portions of the loop serves as the axle for a roller electrode, and bifurcated full loop electrodes wherein the upper working surface and the lower working surface can be independently energized. The electrodes according to the invention permit resection of upper and lower prostate lobes without requiring inversion of the resectoscope, thereby shortening the time for the procedure. In addition, the full loop electrodes with different upper and lower morphology provide additional treatment options while also reducing the time for the procedure.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 1997Date of Patent: May 11, 1999Assignee: Symbiosis CorporationInventors: Kevin F. Hahnen, Boris Kesler

Patent number: 5683359Abstract: An arthroscopic surgical instrument includes a surgical punch end effector assembly, a hollow tube defining a fluid passageway, a push rod extending through the hollow tube, an actuating lever coupled to a proximal end of the push rod, and a fluid coupler extending into the hollow tube and coupling to a vacuum source which applies suction through the fluid passageway. The end effector assembly has movable punch and stationary die end effectors. The stationary die end effector includes separate upper die and lower cup portions which are coupled to the distal end of the hollow tube, and which are fixed together during an assembly procedure. The upper die portion has a groove into which a tongue of the movable end effector is fitted prior to fixing the separate portions of the stationary end effector.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 1995Date of Patent: November 4, 1997Assignee: Symbiosis CorporationInventors: Laszlo Farkas, Kevin F.
