Lanna FOREST/OF NEW YORK, N.'Y., ASSIGNOR To GEORGEKLWOODWORTH, OF BROOK- LINE, MASSACHUSETTS caU'rnnY.
Application filed March 1.1901. Serial No. 359,968.
To all whom it may concern: Be it known that 1, LEE DE FOREST, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in 'Cauteries, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to devices for pro ducing burning effects bymeans ofhigh frequency electrical currents, and more particularly to cauteries employed in surgery and to instruments for burning leather,
marking on glass, glass-cutting, &c.
I have discovered that when a conductor is attached to any part of a high-frequency oscillating circuit, the high frequency electrical current passing into a body, for example, a human body, Wlll produce a heating or urning effect at the point of contactof the electrode conveying such currents .to said body, and that the intensity of said heating or burning effect is inversely proportional to the tcl'i'ninal area of said electrode. If therefore the electrode end in a fine point or cutting edge, or relatively small area of'other' shape, an extremely intense burning effect may be obtained. Although an ordinary oscillating circuit including a capacity, which may be a condenser, an inductance and a dischargcr for said capacity may be employed,
I find that the aforesaid burning effect is especially pronounced when a practically continuous train of undamped electrical oscillations isemployed, such for example as the cuit.
my invention oscillations produced by a singing-arc cirose o f more fully disclosing have illustrated 1n the drawings which accompany and form a part of For the pur this specification several forms of apparatus and circuit arrangements which I have found to be efficient in practice; but it is. to be'understood that various modifications in such apparatus as well as in "the circuit 'arrangements may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from theprinciplc of my invention. In said drawings, Figure 1 represents in diagram a singing-arc circuit having a conductor, provided at one end with'a cutting edge electrode and at the other end with an electrode of relatively larg'e'area, inductively related to said circuit. Fig. 2 represents a singing-arc circuit havinga conductor, provided with a needlepoint electrode, conduct ivelyconnccted to said CII'CHIR: F 1g. 3 represents a sonorous circuit having connected thereto by aiito transforlnei' connections a cutting edge electrode and an electrode of relatively large area, said electrodes by virtue of their connections with said sonorous circuit being connected to the terminals of aconductor. Figs. 4 and 5 show details of electrodes which may be employed.
I In the figures, 1) represents a source of unidirectional electromotive force which may be, for example, a direct current generator capable ofdeveloping 220 volts.
C is a condenser.
M is anoscillation transformer, of which the primary and secondary respectively are I, and I L is an inductance.
Sis a spark-ga .8 represents t e arc-electrodes of a singing-arc circuit.
R is a resistance.
A is a source of vibratory-current, such for example, as an alternating current enerator.
M 1s a transformer, which may be a stepup transformer, and of which I, and I, are respectively the primary and secondary windings.
a is a switch The circuits S 0 Land S CL are-singingarccircuits. I p 4 S C L is a sonorous circuit.
I prefer to so design the oscillation circuits shown inFigs. 1, 2 and 3, that currents having frequencies from 500,000 to 1,000,000 cycles per second may be developed. By
' properly choosing the capacity and inductance of the sonorous circuit shown in Fig. '3, the natural period of said circuit may be made as small as desired; but in order to develop undamped electrical oscillations having the frequencies above referred to by means of the circuits shown in Figs. 1 and 2, certain precautions willbe found necessary. I find that by separating the electrodes S of the discharger for the condenser C a distance of- Patented Dec. 17, 1907.
about 1 mm. and inclosing said electrodes in an atmosphere of steam, as described in my U. S. Letters Patent No. 850,017, dated April -23, 1907, or'by employing other suitable arrangements I can, by suitably choosing the electromagnetic constants of the circuit,-ob-
tain practically-continuous or undamped oscillations of frequency from 500,000 to 1 1,000,000 p. p. s. and of relatively large am perage and small voltage.
An insulated conductor associated 1n any quency current of sufficient amperage into the'body of a person to which such W'IIB, needle, or cutting edge is applied to burn the fieshexactly at the. oint of contact, in a manner similar to a W 'te-hot wire except that the effect is absolutely localized and is restricted to the point of contact, while at the same time the electrode itself remains absolutely cold except at the exact point of con tact. The burning effect is enhanced if the surface of the flesh has previously been slightly moistened.
In Figs. 4 and 5, E represents a needle electrode and E represents .a cutting edge electrode, each electrode being provided with an insulating handle F which may be of glass.
In the operation of the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the electrode E may be appliedto any .suitable portion of the patients body and the cauterizing electrode E is a plied to thatportion of the body on which t e opera tion 1s to be performed. The function of the electrode E is to increase the burning effect produced by the oscillations which pass from E to the body of the patient. The electrode E" however is not necessary inasmuch as the electrostaticcapacity of the patients body is. sufficiently large to enable the high frequency currents to produce any ordinary cautery efiect. The operation of the device shown. in Fig. 2 is the same as that. above set forth in connection with Fig. 1, except that only one electrode is em loyed. The operation of the device shown in Fig. 3 is the same as that above set fofth in connection with Fig. 1.
I prefer to eliminate the large area contact E because when the cauterlzing electrode only is employed there is practically nocurrent passing through any portion of the patients body except in the region directly surrounding the seat of the operation. I prefer also to employ asource of practically continuous or undamped high frequency electrical oscillations as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, because in such case there is no electric shock produced by the passage of the currents into the body, whereas with the usualsonorous circuit employing an energizin circuit including a source of vibratory e ectrornotive force, the cauterizin effects are in generalaccompanied by a pulsating effect causing an contractile effect upon the mus-.
involunta cles and dlsturbin the nervous equilibrium which may serious y interfere with the operation. Another reason for preferring a source of undamped oscillations is that the heating effects are much more intense.
In the cauteries heretofore used in surgery it is necessary to employ a platinum or iri dium conductor, generally in the form of a fine wire,
through which a'direct or low frequency alternating current is'passed to heat the same to redness or whiteness. These fine wires so heated are exceedingly' fragile and pliable and frequently become broken or displaced. Also it is frequently impossible to use a cautery in certain operations because the snarewire cannot be gotten around the part to be 1 operated upon. viated and a great variety of new and dlfficult cautery operations rendered possible by the form of cautery herein disclosed. For ex- All. these difficulties are obample, the th in chisel or scalpel of steel shown in Fig. 5, may be used to cut and sear at the edge onl so that thesurrounding flesh is not.
scorche( and the operation thus rendered bloodless. Again, a fine steel needle such as shown in Fig. 4, may be inserted far into a wound or orifice in the body and produce an extremely localized cautery effect at the point thereof. Also certain delicate operations on the eye which heretofore required the use of the surgeons knife are rendered possible by cauteri'zation by means of my invention.

The combination with a source of high .frequency electrical "oscillations of a conductor associated with said source and an electrode connected with said conductor and so constructed and arranged that the electrical oscillations communicated thereto may be transmitted to a body to produce a burning effect on the surface thereof.
