ULTRASONIC DEVICE FOR CUTTING AND COAGULATING

摘要

Apparatus and method to permit selective cutting and coagulation required in fine and delicate surgical procedures. The apparatus includes two body members having proximal ends and distal ends with jaw members located adjacent the body member's distal ends. The body members are joined at a pivot located adjacent to the first and second jaw members joining the first and second body members where the body members' rotation about the pivot defines a plane of rotation. The scissors are adapted for selective application of energy to at least one jaw member by a switch located in the plane of rotation.

主权项

1. A surgical cutting and coagulation scissors comprising:
a first body member having a proximal end and a distal end; a first finger ring located adjacent the proximal end of the first body member; a first jaw member located adjacent the first body member's distal end; a second body member having a proximal end and a distal end; a second finger ring located adjacent the second body member's proximal end; a second jaw member located adjacent the second body member's distal end; a pivot located adjacent to the first and second jaw members joining the first and second body members; and a switch located on the first body member for applying energy to at least one of the first or second jaw members.
