<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel thermal tissue welding system for use in a tissue sealing and cutting (e.g. thermal tissue welding) device. <P>SOLUTION: A system for sealing and cutting tissue includes: a body comprising a pair of opposing working surfaces that hold tissue and is relatively movable; and a heater disposed on at least one of the working surfaces. The heater comprises a tubular heating element and a high resistance, electrically insulating, high thermal conductivity core material disposed within the interior of tubular heating element. The tubular heating element is in direct contact with the tissue to heat it for cutting and sealing. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
