  • ELECTROSURGICAL UNIT AND SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20220000552
    Abstract: Systems, such as an electrosurgical unit, and method for use with an active electrode and a plurality of return electrodes are disclosure. An electrosurgical treatment is provided to tissue via the active electrode at a treatment site and a first return electrode of the plurality of return electrodes at the treatment site. An impedance measurement is received or determined of an impedance in the tissue between the active electrode at the treatment site and a second return electrode of the plurality of return electrodes at a site remote from the treatment site.
    Type: Application

  • Bipolar cutting and hemostasis blade system
    Patent number: 11071579
    Abstract: An electrosurgical medical device includes an elongate shaft defining a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen there through. A fluid conduit is disposed within the lumen. A first electrode is at least partially disposed within the lumen and extends distally from the distal end of the shaft, the first electrode is sized and configured to cut tissue with radiofrequency energy. A second electrode is arranged in a bipolar configuration with the first electrode, the second electrode is coupled to ground and configured to receive radiofrequency energy from the first electrode. The second electrode is defined by at least a portion the shaft and extending a distance away from the distal end of the shaft.
