Definitions

  • the present technology is generally related to the field of surgical instruments.
  • the disclosure relates to a multi-function transection device for use in open surgical procedures.
  • Bipolar vessel sealing and dissection devices use advanced radiofrequency to seal blood vessels and other tissue structures, and are commonly used in open, laparoscopic, and thoracoscopic procedures. These devices are often used for sealing and dividing blood vessels and other tissue structures through a combination of radiofrequency energy and pressure. Common procedures in which bipolar vessel sealing and dissection devices are used include hysterectomies, colectomies, splenectomies, gastrectomies, pancreatectomies, nephrectomies, adhesiolysis and endometriosis resection, among others.
  • a typical bipolar vessel sealing device 100 is depicted in accordance with the prior art.
  • the device 100 can include a pair of jaws 102A/B configured to hold tissue layers together like a clamp. Radiofrequency energy from a generator 104 is delivered to the tissue through conductive surfaces 106A/B on the jaws 102AZB, specifically, the conductive surfaces 106AZB can include two electrical poles, hence the term “bipolar.”
  • a generator 104 is delivered to the tissue through conductive surfaces 106A/B on the jaws 102AZB, specifically, the conductive surfaces 106AZB can include two electrical poles, hence the term “bipolar.”
  • Ligasure® ImpactTM manufactured and sold by Medtronic, pic.
  • tissue is placed between the jaws 102A/B.
  • a clinician or user then squeezes a lever 108 to close the jaws 102A/B and presses a trigger 110 to activate the generator 104.
  • a high-frequency alternating current from the generator 104 causes hydrated tissue clamped between the jaws 102A/B to heat up, which in turn causes collagen and elastin molecules within the tissue to melt and fuse back together thereby creating a seal.
  • bipolar vessel sealing and dissection devices are well adapted at sealing and dividing tissues that can be positioned between the pair of jaws 102A/B.
  • transcoalition sealing device 150 is depicted in accordance with the prior art.
  • the transcoalition sealing device 150 can include a pair of electrodes 152A/B and a saline port 154 configured to deliver a combination of radiofrequency energy and saline to the tissue.
  • the saline is delivered at a rate matched to the power setting on the system pump generator 156.
  • One example of such a device is the AquamantysTM Sealer, manufactured and sold by Medtronic, pic.
  • transcoalition can be affected through a painting motion of the device 150 upon the tissue to be treated while pressing an activation button 158 to seal broad tissue planes or spot treat bleeding vessels up to about 1 mm in diameter.
  • transcoalition provides low temperature hemostasis, with temperatures generally at or below 100°C, thereby reducing the likelihood of burning char or smoke.
  • Bipolar vessel sealing devices 100 and transcoalition devices 150 have each proven extremely effective in this respect, particularly in comparison to manual dissection with sutures or electrocautery. Specifically, these devices have been found to reduce procedure times while reducing blood loss, hospital stays, recovery time, and postoperative pain. Moreover, these devices seal tissue without leaving any foreign objects, like sutures, staples or clips, in the body.

  • embodiments of the present disclosure enable clamping and small vessel sealing, as well as coagulation of diffused bleeding within a tissue plane without a need for instrument changes or a larger incision, thus resulting in improved visibility for clinicians, shorter surgical procedure times, and improved patient outcomes (e.g., faster recovery rates, greater hemoglobin retention, etc.).

  • embodiments of the present disclosure employ a low-profile ring handle configuration with a form factor similar to a hemostatic or other instrument which surgeons are accustomed. Accordingly, in addition to reduced surgical times, reduced cost, higher hemoglobin retention for the patient, and reductions in postsurgical blood loss, embodiments of the present disclosure provide improved visibility of the surgical site, as well as a haptic familiarity to surgeons, particularly in comparison to pistol grip handle designs (such as that depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2).
