发明名称 Electrosurgical instrument
摘要 An electrosurgical instrument that reduces the amount of fatigue experienced by a physician performing electrosurgery includes a hand piece with a utility conduit connected to the hand piece. The utility conduit can include an electrical cable and a smoke/fluid evacuation hose. The location at which the utility conduit exits the hand piece is selectively adjustable to reduce the resistance to the movement of the electrosurgical instrument created by the weight of the utility conduit. An electrosurgical instrument may also include an extendable shaft that allows for selective adjustment of the reach of the operational capabilities of the instrument.

主权项 1. A hand-held instrument comprising: a hand piece configured to be held by a user, the hand piece having a proximal end and a distal end; an extendable shaft movably associated with and disposed at least partially within the hand piece, the extendable shaft having a proximal end and a distal end and being selectively movable relative to the hand piece between a retracted position and an extended position, the proximal end of the extendable shaft being movably disposed within the hand piece such that the proximal end of the extendable shaft is positioned closer to the distal end of the hand piece when the extendable shaft is in the extended position than when the extendable shaft is in the retracted position; a nozzle disposed at the distal end of the extendable shaft, the nozzle being adapted to have smoke, gas, or fluid drawn therethrough; and a utility conduit connected to the distal end of the extendable shaft, the utility conduit comprising a power cable for transmitting electrical energy to the hand piece and an evacuation hose in fluid communication with the nozzle, the evacuation hose being configured to convey away the smoke, gas, or fluid drawn into the nozzle, wherein the utility conduit moves with the extendable shaft and relative to the hand piece when the extendable shaft moves between the retracted position and the extended position.
