Abstract
Electrosurgical devices, methods, and systems for electrosurgical procedures as enabled by bipolar radiofrequency energy. An electrosurgical tissue dissecting device includes a shaft, a distally directed member that extends in a distal direction from the shaft, a first electrode that either forms part of or is positioned on the distally directed member, and a second electrode that is movable with respect to the first electrode.
Claims18
An electrosurgical tissue dissecting device comprising:
- a shaft;
- a distally directed member that extends in a distal direction from the shaft;
- a first electrode that either forms part of or is positioned on the distally directed member;
- and
- an electrosurgical blade which is a second electrode that is configured to pivot with respect to the first electrode,
- wherein a proximal end of the electrosurgical blade is pivotably mounted to the distally directed member, and is movable such that at least a portion of the blade is exposed, wherein a distal end of the second electrode is configured to pivot with respect to the first electrode about a pivot point that is defined at the proximal end of the second electrode.
