RADIO FREQUENCY-BASED SURGICAL IMPLANT FIXATION APPARATUS |
摘要 |
A radio frequency-based surgical implant fixation apparatus is provided and includes a housing and a shaft that is operably coupled to housing. A longitudinal axis is defined through the shaft. The housing is adapted to connect to a source of electrosurgical energy. An approximator assembly has an elongated rod that is coaxially coupled to the shaft and is configured to reciprocate therethrough from an extended position to a retracted position. A plurality of delivery arms is operably coupled to a distal end of the elongated rod. The delivery arms are configured to releasably receive a portion of a surgical implant and selectively connect to the energy source to transmit electrosurgical energy to the surgical implant to fuse the surgical implant to tissue upon actuation thereof. |
