Abstract: An electrosurgical system for sealing and cutting tissue includes an electrosurgical signal generator sealing stage to provide an AC sealing signal on a set of sealing electrodes, an electrosurgical signal generator cutting stage to provide an AC cutting signal on a set of cutting electrodes, and one or more controllers configured to control the electrosurgical signal generator sealing stage and the electrosurgical signal generator cutting stage. The set of sealing electrodes and the set of cutting electrodes share at least one electrode in common. The set of sealing electrodes and the set of cutting electrodes are coupled to a plurality of surfaces positioned on first and second jaws of an end effector. In some embodiments, the AC sealing signal and the AC cutting signal are in-phase.

Abstract: A computer-assisted medical device is configured and used to endoluminally navigate to a location in the gastrointestinal system and there treat certain body lumen wall areas while avoiding other body lumen wall areas. Embodiments ablate the inner mucosal layer and sub-mucosal nerve plexus of the stomach, duodenum and jejunum to effect treatment of insulin resistance and metabolic disorders, such as Type II diabetes (T2D), polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), congestive heart failure (CHF) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Various sensors are used to assist a clinical operator to navigate from the mouth through the pyloric sphincter and into and through the duodenum and/or jejunum. Various sensors are used to map and identify portions of the duodenum and/or jejunum. Various lumen wall ablation devices and methods are described. Various post-treatment assessments are described.

Abstract: A method is provided to seal and cut biological tissue. An alternating current (AC) scaling signal is imparted between a set of sealing electrodes. An AC cutting signal is imparted between a set of cutting electrodes in response to a biological tissue impedance between the sealing electrodes reaching a first impedance threshold value. The AC scaling signal is halted at an end of a time interval, beginning while the AC cutting signal is imparted between the cutting electrodes, in response to impedance of the biological tissue disposed between the set of sealing electrodes reaching a second impedance threshold value.

Abstract: An electrosurgical instrument may comprise electrodes provided on the working surfaces of each jaw member that can be set to different electrical potentials and/or polarities to perform electrosurgical operations, such as sealing and cutting. Different combinations of electrodes can be selectively activated to create different pathways for the transfer of electrical energy through the material, to achieve the desired effects.
