  • Insulated electrode and method of assembly
    Patent number: 6461355
    Abstract: A design and method of manufacture is disclosed for an insulated electrode used during surgical procedures. The electrode includes a durable electrical insulation element that can withstand the range of temperatures generated during an electrosurgical procedure. Such insulation characteristics include resistance to meltback and manufacturability to ensure the device is biocompatible and non-toxic so as to prevent adverse reactions in both patients and users of the device. The insulated electrode further includes properties that reduce the incidence of scope damage caused by the intensity of heat generated during the cutting and coagulation cycles.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 27, 1999
    Date of Patent: October 8, 2002
    Assignee: AMS Research Corporation
    Inventors: Ronald D. Svejkovsky, Randy L. Morningstar, Steven J. Ferry, William M. Klatt, John W. Westrum, Jr.
