Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/184446
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A bipolar electrosurgical fusion/sealer and dissector instrument (20) is provided that is arranged to simultaneously fuse and cut tissue captured between jaws of the instrument. The jaws include particularly positioned, shaped and/or oriented electrodes along with a compressible landing pad to perform the simultaneous fusion and cutting of tissue. An electrosurgical generator (10) is arranged to supply RF energy through the instrument and to monitor a phase angle of the supplied RF energy; the generator is further arranged to adjust the supplied RF energy or to terminate the supply based on the monitored phase angle to optimally fuse and dissect the tissue.
