  • Electrosurgery devices
    Patent number: 7549989
    Abstract: Devices for electrosurgery by means of oxy-hydro combustion. Deleterious effects to tissue are minimized by means of control of acid-base shift reactions, which reactions can further be employed to control oxy-hydro combustion reactions. In one embodiment, radiofrequency energy in electrical connection with electrodes is employed to induce electrolysis in an aqueous salt environment, thereby producing oxygen and hydrogen, with the same energy source employed to initiate a combustion reaction.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 29, 2007
    Date of Patent: June 23, 2009
    Assignee: NuOrtho Surgical, Inc.

  • Non-invasive gut motility monitor
    Patent number: 6374670
    Abstract: An apparatus (4) and method of non-invasive monitoring of gut motility. An ingestible magnet (10, M) is swallowed by the patient (12) and then linear and rotational movement is directionally detected by an external compass (14, 16). In preferred form, movements of the magnet (10, M) are recorded by a memory means (18) and graphically presented (20) over a period of predetermined time. An alternate embodiment includes multiple compasses (C1, C2) for directionally locating the magnet (10, M) within the patient (12).
