  • Patent number: 12053222
    Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed to a treatment system comprises a power supply apparatus and a treatment instrument configured to communicate electrically with the power supply apparatus so as to perform a treatment on a biological tissue. The treatment instrument includes an end effector that transmits a high-frequency current delivered by a first electrical energy to the biological tissue. An electric element is configured to operate the end effector by being actuated using second electric energy. The power supply apparatus includes a processor configured to receive a stop command to cutoff the supply of the first electric energy and the second electric energy in a state in which the first electric energy and the second electric energy are supplied and determine whether or not the end effector is in contact with the biological tissue based on a parameter related to the first electric energy after receiving the stop command.

  • Publication number: 20220241006
    Abstract: A treatment device equipped with high frequency capability has a pair of clasping jaws. The upper and lower jaws are openable-closable and serves as high frequency electrodes to clamp and seal and/or transect tissue. A blade traverses a channel in the upper and lower jaws and is used to open and close the upper and lower jaws. Additional structures and mechanisms contribute to the operation of the upper and lower jaws and add strength to the opening of the clasping jaws, which is useful in the procedure of peeling tissues using the opening movement of the clasping jaws.
