  • Patent number: 7083616
    Abstract: For stopping bleeding at an incensed wound, quickly, with using a medical manipulator system, having a plural number of manipulators therein, the medical manipulator system comprises manipulators, each having an operation tool, respectively. Onto the operation tools is applied current, alternately, from a positive electrode of a bipolar electric power source. Onto the other operation tool is applied current from a negative electrode of the bipolar electric power source. Driving the operation tool cauterizes a portion of an affected portion, thereby stopping bleeding in a wide region.
