Patent Issued for Electrosurgical apparatus for delivering RF and/or microwave energy into biological tissue (USPTO 12064172).

A patent has been issued for an electrosurgical apparatus that delivers radiofrequency (RF) and/or microwave energy into biological tissue. The apparatus includes an active tip with a planar body made of a dielectric material, a protective hull made of electrically conductive material, and a coaxial feed cable for conveying the RF and/or microwave energy. The protective hull serves as a conductive path between the coaxial cable and the active tip, eliminating the need for additional connecting components. This invention aims to minimize bleeding during surgical procedures and improve visibility for endoscopic procedures. The patent was filed by Creo Medical Limited and published online on August 20, 2024. [Extracted from the article]
