Coagulating Forceps

US Patent:
5443463, Aug 22, 1995
Filed:
Aug 16, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/106601
Inventors:
Roger A. Stern - Cupertino CA
Richard M. Soderstrom - Seattle WA
Vincent N. Sullivan - San Jose CA
Robert L. Marion - San Jose CA
Assignee:
Vesta Medical, Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
A61B 1739
US Classification:
606 51
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for selectively coagulating blood vessels or tissue containing blood vessels involves the placement of the blood vessels or tissue containing blood vessels between the prongs of a forceps with the jaws of the forceps containing a plurality of electrodes which are energized by radio-frequency power. A plurality of sensors are associated with the electrodes and in contact with the vessels or tissue in order to measure the temperature rise of the tissue or blood vessels and to provide a feedback to the radio-frequency power in order to control the heating to perform coagulation of the vessels or tissue. In a further development, the upper prong of the device is split into two parts with a cutting blade between the two upper parts in order to provide for cutting of the coagulated vessels subsequent to the coagulation. The cutting may be accomplished either mechanically or with an electrosurgical cutting device.
