Definitions

  • the present application is a Utility application basing priority to provisional application No. 61/801,310 for an Electro surgical Handpiece, the entirety of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
  • Electro surgical instruments are well known and widely used in the medical, dental, and veterinarian fields. In a typical surgical setting, a surgeon may use an electrosurgical instrument to perform a desired cutting procedure and then utilize another electrosurgical instrument to perform a procedure to coagulate blood vessels. Different operational parameters are required for different surgical procedures. It would be desirable to provide an electrosurgical tool configured to provide various settings of the operational parameters with optimum flexibility. An electrosurgical tool which provides a range of operational parameters for surgical procedures such as power settings, temperature control, electrode configurations and RF energy settings would be useful in the surgical field.
  • one embodiment of the present invention is an electrosurgical device for conducting surgical procedures including a handpiece main body, an electrode attachment which is detachable from the handpiece main body, an electrical conduit passing through the main body of the handpiece and a second electrical conduit passing through the electrode attachment so that when the electrode attachment is attached to the handpiece main body, the first and second conduits are electrically connected and power is supplied to the surgical site through the electrode attachment.
  • a feedback unit is positioned within the handpiece main body as well as a feedback path between the feedback unit and the electrode attachment which provides a path for the electrode attachment to send signals to the feedback mechanism. The feedback mechanism responds to the signals through the feedback path to adjust operational characteristics of the device.

  • Handpiece 10 generally includes an elongated portion 14 that extends distally away from a grip area 16 .
  • the elongated portion 14 is relatively slim and slender to assist a surgeon as will be described in greater detail hereinafter.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 7,674,261 is incorporated by reference herein.
  • buttons 18 are provided for operation of the handpiece 10 in accordance with U.S. Pat. No. 7,674,261 the entirety of which is hereby incorporated by reference. More specifically, buttons 18 include “cut” 18 A, “hemo stasis” 18 B, and “combination” 18 C which is a combination of cut and hemo stasis.
  • buttons 18 include “cut” 18 A, “hemo stasis” 18 B, and “combination” 18 C which is a combination of cut and hemo stasis.
  • Handpiece 10 also includes a tapered region 20 extending from the opposite side of the grip area 16 with respect to the elongated portion 14 .
  • Tapered region 20 extends generally from the buttons 18 until reaching the electrode attachment 22 .
  • the handpiece 10 is a unitary construction of a plastic or other similar type material that provides lightweight and durability to permit a surgeon to conduct surgery in an operative field.
  • the tapered region 20 includes a planar portion beyond the grip area 16 in which a visual display 21 , which is described in further detail below, may be located.
  • the visual display 21 provides a visual indication of the status of operational parameters of handpiece 10 .
  • electrode attachment 22 is shown in greater detail.
  • electrode attachment 22 is a detachable and a separate piece from the handpiece 10 .
  • handpiece 10 and electrode attachment 22 may be one unitary construction.
  • electrode attachment 22 includes a tapered region 24 that extends from the shoulder 36 down to sheath 26 .
  • the resulting taper of tapered region 20 and tapered region 24 create a generally uniform and sleek overall taper from the buttons 18 down to the sheath 26 .
  • the effort mentioned unitary taper of tapered region 20 and tapered region 24 need not be uniform and can be an alternate shape or configuration.
  • Sheath 26 extends axially from tapered region 24 in a direction away from the handpiece 10 with respect to when the handpiece 10 is connected with the electrode attachment 22 .
  • Sheath 26 in one embodiment, is hollow and cylindrical to permit electrode 28 to pass therethrough.
  • Sheath 26 and tapered region 24 may be constructed of a flexible or rigid material depending on whether or not the surgeon desires to be able to bend or alter the shape or direction of the electrode 28 during a surgical procedure.
  • Electrode 28 similarly, may be constructed of a material that permits bending in accordance with bending of the sheath 26 and tapered region 24 . Such materials with respect to the sheath 26 and tapered region 24 may include bendable plastics, elastomers, rubbers, polymers or other suitable materials.
  • Electrode 28 is constructed of a conductive material and passes through the axial center of both sheath 26 and tapered region 24 to electrically connect with plug 32 . Such connection may be through welding or forming the electrode 28 and the plug 32 is one unitary piece surrounded by sheath 26 and tapered region 24 .
  • One skilled in the art will readily recognize alternative manufacturing methods that may be employed.
  • Plug 32 is structurally supported by and positioned within tapered region 24 .
  • a key 34 Positioned around plug 32 and engaged with shoulder 36 is a key 34 .
  • Key 34 in one embodiment, is hexagonally shaped for reasons that will become more clear with the following description.
  • key 34 may be any alternate shape such as a square, triangle, rectangle or other shape that locks electrode attachment 22 rotationally in place with respect to handpiece 10 as will be described.
  • electrode attachment 22 remains fixed rotationally with respect to handpiece 10 during use by a surgeon through a meeting of the hexagonal shape of key 34 with the handpiece 10 as will be described.
  • handpiece 10 is shown with electrode attachment 22 removed.
  • handpiece 10 includes plug receptacle 38 and key receptacle 40 .
  • plug receptacle 38 is a cylindrical hollow receptacle that receives plug 32 in an electrically connected fashion.
  • plug receptacle 38 may create an interference fit with plug 32 such that the outer wall of plug 32 is pressed against the inner wall of plug receptacle 38 .
  • key receptacle 40 includes walls 42 that are also hexagonally positioned such that the inside of the hexagonally walls 42 abut against the hexagonally outer region of key 34 . The result is that key receptacle 40 and key 34 interact to prevent rotation of electrode attachment 22 with respect to handpiece 10 .
  • the rotational position of the electrode attachment 22 will result in the handpiece 10 in providing different voltage, waveform or other electrical characteristics to electrode 28 .
  • the electrode attachment 22 is in one angular position with respect to the handpiece 10 such that certain portions of key 34 mate with certain portions of walls 42 , then a specific electrical signal will be provided to the electrode 28 by the handpiece 10 .
  • a surgeon were to rotate the electrode attachment 22 a certain angular displacement (for example 180°) from this initial position, then a different electrical signal will be provided to electrode 28 .
  • FIG. 5 is an electrical schematic according to one aspect of the present invention.
  • the electrical schematic shown in FIG. 5 may occur within handpiece 10 , in accordance with the present embodiment.
  • the electrical schematic described herein may be performed in an attached RF unit or feedback unit.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates handpiece 10 cut along section IV-IV of FIG. 3 similar to that shown in FIG. 4 .
  • walls 42 include electrical contacts 44 positioned on at least one or possibly all of the walls 42 .
