20120221003 | System and Method for a Physiochemical Scalpel to Eliminate Biologic Tissue Over-resection and Induce Tissue Healing - Removal of damaged tissue itself can enable biosynthetic activity in vivo as an unburdened homeostatic or repair response. By removing a biologic and mechanical irritant, the lesion site can be altered to a more favorable perturbation-specific mechanotransductive environment supportive of differentiated gene expression. One aspect of one embodiment of the present invention provides an engineered irrigant that produces ion exchanges in tissues for example deliver of protons which interact with biology tissues. | 08-30-2012 |
20120095457 | CONNECTION OF A BIPOLAR ELECTROSURGICAL HAND PIECE TO A MONOPOLAR OUTPUT OF AN ELECTROSURGICAL GENERATOR - A method and apparatus for operatively connecting a bipolar electrosurgical hand piece to a monopolar output of an electrosurgical unit wherein active components simulate expected impedance characteristics of monopolar return electrodes connected to a patient. | 04-19-2012 |

Engineered irrigants provide targeted delivery of desired agents, including agents for propulsion of nano-devices, agents including molecular probes, gene expression agents, magnetically orientable agents, agents for discrete tissue temperature detection and tissue regeneration agents. | 11-24-2011 |
20110087308 | Interfacing Media Manipulation with Non-Ablation Radiofrequency Energy System and Method - The effects produced by surgical devices that deploy an electrical circuit between electrodes are dependent on the nature of electrical work perform upon the conductive media in an around biologic tissues. Non-ablation radiofrequency surgical devices utilize a protective housing that provides, based upon procedure-specific needs, the ability to 1. move, manipulate, and segregate near-field effects both tangentially and perpendicularly to the tissue surface, 2. deliver far-field electromagnetic effects to tissue unencumbered by current deposition, and 3. serve as a 20 mechanical adjunct to and a selective throttling vent/plenum for energy delivery. Because the electrodes are non-tissue-contacting, this study characterizes the effects that non-ablation radiofrequency energy exerts upon interfacing media typically encountered during surgical applications. These devices create a Repetitive Molecular Energy Conversion Loop for surgical work; and, non-ionizing electromagnetic forces are deployed in strength levels that can produce thermal and non-thermal biologic tissue effects. A differential between current density dispersion and electromagnetic field strength is exploited to allow normal tissue healing responses to the near-field effects of tissue modification and preconditioning while permitting far-field effects, which are useful for inducing therapeutic biologic responses, to manifest in treated tissues that have been protected from electrical current generated collateral damage. | 04-14-2011 |
20100324550 | ACTIVE CONVERSION OF A MONOPOLAR CIRCUIT TO A BIPOLAR CIRCUIT USING IMPEDANCE FEEDBACK BALANCING - Systems, devices, and methods for electrosurgery wherein a circuit bridge is created for a monopolar electrosurgical circuit that provides a matched impedance to load condition thereby joining the active (working) and return (reference) electrode leads into a single bipolar mode device. | 12-23-2010 |
