Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An energy source for use with an electrosurgical system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the energy source includes a power supply, one or more capacitors coupled to the power supply, and a switching component coupled to the one or more capacitors. The switching component is configured to output pulses of a biphasic waveform. The pulses are capable of treating undesired tissue by inducing a change in voltage potential across cell membranes of a plurality of cells in the undesired tissue to promote non-thermal cell death in the plurality of cells. The pulses are also capable of treating the undesired tissue with no or minimal muscle contractions in patient tissue within reach of the biphasic waveform during treatment of the undesired tissue.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An energy source for use with an electrosurgical system, comprising: a variable voltage power supply; at least one capacitor charged by the variable voltage power supply; and a switching amplifier receiving energy from the at least one capacitor, wherein the switching amplifier is configured to output pulses of a biphasic radio frequency (RF) waveform, and wherein the pulses are capable of treating targeted tissue by inducing non-thermal cell death in…
