Abstract
An energy delivery system for controlling blood loss is provided. The system includes an energy-activated patch configured for placement on tissue. The patch includes an energy-delivering layer configured to deliver energy to the tissue. The system also includes an energy source in operative engagement with the energy-activated patch for energizing the energy-delivering layer.
Claims17
An energy delivery system for delivering energy to a wound and controlling blood loss by promoting coagulation of the blood thus sealing the wound, the system comprising:
- an energy-activated patch configured for placement on tissue in proximity to the wound, the patch includes an energy-delivering layer configured to deliver energy to the wound to promote coagulation of the blood thus sealing the wound, the energy-delivering layer including a microstrip antenna;
- and
- an energy source in operative engagement with the energy-activated patch for energizing the energy-delivering layer.
An energy delivery system for controlling blood loss, the system comprising:
- an energy-activated patch configured for placement on tissue, the patch includes an energy-delivering layer configured to deliver energy to the tissue;
- and
- an energy source in operative engagement with the energy-activated patch for energizing the energy-delivering layer, wherein the energy-delivering layer includes a microstrip antenna.
An energy delivery system for controlling blood loss, the system comprising:
- an energy-activated patch configured for placement on tissue, the patch includes an energy-delivering layer configured to deliver energy to the tissue;
- and
- an energy source in operative engagement with the energy-activated patch for energizing the energy-delivering layer, wherein the energy-delivering layer includes a grid of active and return RF electrodes.
