An attachment for a gas-assisted electrosurgical device. The attachment has a housing having a channel within it, an electrosurgical blade and an electrical connector. The electrosurgical blade has a conductive member comprising an elongated distal portion and a proximal portion, the distal portion having a width greater than a width of the proximal portion, the width of the distal portion being at least three times the thickness of the distal portion, and a coating on at least a portion of said conductive member.

Attachment for electrosurgical system

A method for performing cold atmospheric plasma treatment of respiratory infections or lung cancer having a source of a carrier gas, a cold atmospheric plasma generator connected to the source of carrier gas, a source of compressed air, a humidifier connected to the source of compressed air, a source of oxygen, a ventilator having inputs connected to an output of the humidifier and the source of oxygen, a mixer having an interior chamber formed from a dielectric, an active electrode inside the interior chamber, and an outer electrode connected to ground, wherein the mixer has a fluid input port connected to a gas output of the cold atmospheric plasma generator and an output of the ventilator, and a delivery member connected to an output of the mixer for delivering combined humidified air and cold atmospheric plasma to a respiratory system of a patient.

Method for treatment of respiratory infections and cancers of the respiratory system using cold atmospheric plasma

A configurable electrosurgical generator front panel. The configurable electrosurgical generator front panel has a front panel frame, a display screen or tablet computing device, and a plurality of connectors for connecting accessories to the front panel frame. The front panel in the front panel assembly provides a novel structure for inserting a screen or tablet device into the front panel frame and securing it in place.

Configurable electrosurgical generator housing

A robotic surgical system and accessory having a robotic base or hand piece having a plurality of motors and a mechanical actuator each for operating a mechanical positioning arm in a different degrees of freedom. The robotic base is reusable and provides the platform for the system. The drive system has a port that interfaces with the robotic base and allows for insertion of surgical instruments into the base.

System for treatment of respiratory infections and cancers of the respiratory system using cold atmospheric plasma

An apparatus for gas-assisted electrosurgery having a gas-assisted electrosurgical probe comprising a tube and an electrode within said tube, wherein a distal end portion of said electrode extends from an opening at a distal end of said tube and an electrically insulating tip connected to a distal end of said electrode. The electrically insulating tip has a substantially hemispherical distal end portion having a radius rand a proximal portion having a circular cross-section and a central axis of a length l, wherein l&#x3e;r.

Ceramic tip for gas-assisted electrosurgical probe

A method for authenticating an electrosurgical system accessory comprising initiating a surgical procedure through a user interface on an electrosurgical generator, automatically determining whether an electrosurgical accessory is plugged into a generator receptacle, activating an RFID reader connected to the generator in response to a determination that an accessory is plugged into a receptacle, transmitting through the RFID reader to an RFID tag in the accessory a privacy password, transmitting a unit identification code from the RFID tag to the generator, displaying a device type associated with the transmitted unit identification code, checking a status of the accessory, unlocking a tag memory management if the read status code indicates the accessory has not previously been used, reading encoded data from the tag memory, computing a device authentication code from tag memory encoded data, transmitting the computed authentication code to the tag, and enabling the accessory in response to a match.

System and method for RFID identification of electrosurgical accessories

An apparatus or device for performing cold atmospheric plasma procedures. The device or apparatus has a housing, a chamber within the housing, an entry port to the chamber, a plurality of exit ports from the chamber, and a plurality of electrodes mounted in the housing, each of the plurality of electrodes having a distal end adjacent one of the plurality of exit ports. The entry port, chamber, exit ports and plurality of electrodes are configured to provide for an inert gas flowing in the entry port and through the chamber to the exit port to become plasmatized by electrical energy applied to the plurality of electrodes to form a cold plasma flowing from the exit ports.
