Title: Tim Koss: Innovator in Electrosurgery Technology

Introduction

Tim Koss is a notable inventor based in Discovery Bay, CA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of electrosurgery, holding a total of 4 patents. His innovative approaches have advanced the methods of power delivery in surgical applications.

Latest Patents

One of Tim Koss's latest patents is titled "Impedance Mediated Control of Power Delivery for Electrosurgery." This patent describes a method of controlling electrosurgical power delivery based on a comparison of sensed tissue impedance to various impedance threshold values. Energy is delivered to tissue in a sealing cycle as a series of pulses. An initial pulse has a profile with a preset energy starting value that increases at a ramping rate to a preset end value. Sensed impedance data are monitored throughout each pulse and compared to an impedance threshold value for RF setpoint, an impedance threshold value for cumulative time, and an impedance threshold value for energy cutback. Based on sensed impedance during a pulse, the profile of a subsequent pulse can be modified. In a high impedance event that reflects low tissue presence, energy may be cut back. A sealing cycle is stopped when a cumulative amount of time with an impedance value over the impedance cumulative time threshold value reaches a sealing cycle duration limit.
