Integrated Suture and Cauterization |
摘要 |
A system for suturing and cauterization is provided. A needle assembly and/or suture line emanates heat to cauterize tissue during wound closure. Energy sources for the heat include thermal elements of a variety of configurations energized from electrical, RF or chemical sources disposed internally or external to the needle assembly. Conductive suture lines are provided and some embodiments include a surgical robot. Wound closure is improved and closing time decreased while the potential for bleeding induced by needle tract incisions and suture tension is minimized.
