Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems, methods, and instruments associated with controlling the operating modes of an electrosurgical instrument using control signals delivered in a wireless manner from the electrosurgical instrument to an electrosurgical generator. The electrosurgical instrument transmits wireless control signals to the electrosurgical generator to initiate delivery of electrosurgical energy. The control signals are delivered to the electrosurgical generator without the need for a conductive cord extending between the electrosurgical generator and the electrosurgical instrument. The energy is delivered to the electrosurgical instrument, in response to the wireless control signals, along a path through an electrode and the physician utilizing the electrosurgical instrument and/or a conductive path external to the physician. The electrode upon which the physician rests provides a path for the electrosurgical energy and optionally prevents burning of the physician during an electrosurgical procedure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An electrosurgical instrument adapted for use with an electrosurgical generator, the electrosurgical instrument comprising: a hand piece adapted to receive electrosurgical energy from the electrosurgical generator, wherein at least a portion of the electrosurgical energy passes through a physician using the hand piece as the electrosurgical energy is delivered from the electrosurgical generator to the hand piece, the hand piece comprising a recess adapted to…
