  • Patent number: 11969155
    Abstract: An electrosurgical instrument configured for connection to a supply apparatus for operation. The instrument has an end opening at the distal end and supports at least one electrode in the area of the end opening to which an alternating voltage potential can be applied. Directly adjoining the end opening, a liner of the electrosurgical instrument limits a flow chamber inside the liner. With distance to the end opening a flushing channel opens out into the flow chamber via an exit opening and a suction channel opens out into the flow chamber via an inlet opening. A flushing fluid can be introduced in the flow chamber via the flushing channel and can be extracted by suction via the suction channel.

  • Publication number: 20240120700
    Abstract: A CO2 beam source includes a discharge tube in which a laser gas serves as a laser medium, a fan for supplying the laser gas into the discharge tube via a supply element and for removing the laser gas from the discharge tube via a removal element in a closed laser gas circuit, and a catalyst for catalysing oxidation of dissociation products formed upon excitation of the laser gas. The catalyst includes precious metal nanoparticles applied to a substrate. The catalyst is arranged with clearance from the discharge tube in the flow direction of the laser gas within the closed laser gas circuit in order to reduce deposition of degradation products formed in the discharge tube upon excitation of the laser gas compared to an arrangement within the discharge tube. A temperature of the at least one catalyst during operation of the CO2 beam source is at least 60° C.
