Japanese Patent JP7217976
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
An electrosurgical apparatus for tightening ligaments using microwave energy. A detector is used to obtain information about a treatment zone. Based on this information, an energy delivery profile is determined. The energy delivery profile is selected to cause desired thermal effects in target tissue (e.g. ligaments, tendons or the like) without unwanted thermal side effects is determined and delivered. With this apparatus, energy can be delivered in a precise manner to the target tissue. The energy delivery profile may be based on a complex impedance, or attenuation and/or phase constants of the type of body tissue in the treatment zone.
