    摘要: An electrosurgical suction coagulator is disclosed having improved thermal insulation between the active electrode and adjacent tissue. In embodiments, passive insulation is used to control the transfer of thermal energy from an electrosurgical electrode into surrounding tissue. Braided, closed-sell foam material, and open cell foam materials may be used to thermally insulate the outer surface of a suction coagulator shaft from an inner electrode. In embodiments, a suction coagulator shaft includes an external covering formed from open-cell foam material, which may be saturated with a coolant, such as water or saline, to increase the thermal mass of the shaft. In other embodiments, active cooling delivers coolant to the operative site. In yet other embodiments, a suction coagulator shaft includes a cooling jacket through which coolant is passed to actively cool the instrument. The improved electrosurgical suction coagulator disclosed herein may have a reduced operating surface temperatures which may result in reduced risk of undesirable effects to adjacent tissue, and may result in reduced operative times and improved patient outcomes.

    摘要: Device, system and method for ablating tissue of a heart of a patient. The tissue is clamped between a pair of opposing jaws. A portion of the tissue is ablated at a first generally linear position on the tissue by applying ablative energy to two of a plurality of elongate electrodes, each of the two of the plurality of elongate electrodes being coupled in opposing relationship to each other and the pair of opposing jaws, respectively. An effectiveness of the ablation is sensed at a second generally linear position on the tissue with at least one of the plurality of elongate electrodes positioned on one of the pair of opposing jaws. The second linear position on the tissue is laterally distal to the first linear position on the tissue with respect to the atrium of the heart.

    摘要: A system and method are described for tissue treating tissue within a hollow organ. The system may include a foam body having an operative shape adapted to fill at least a portion of the hollow organ, the foam body including a fluid retaining portion formed of a material selected to retain therein an electrically conductive fluid. The fluid retaining component includes at least one contacting portion which, when the foam body is inserted into the hollow organ in a desired position, contacts a target portion of tissue placing the fluid in contact with selected portions of an inner surface of the hollow organ when the foam body is in the operative shape.
