Surgical smoke evacuation apparatus with electrical connection and control
The patent US12070262B2 describes an innovative apparatus designed for surgical procedures, featuring a tubular body with a longitudinal axis that includes a connection opening at one end. This opening is equipped with an electrical connection to an internal circuit and an air path that extends through the body, connecting to a swivel connector at the opposite end. The apparatus incorporates a tube assembly with a vacuum inlet that encircles an electrode, allowing it to receive surgical smoke. The tube assembly can be adjusted within the body to vary the length and position of the electrode, enhancing its functionality. Additionally, the device includes a rotatable cam for locking and unlocking the tube assembly, as well as buttons for controlling the current flow to the electrode at different levels.
Further features of the apparatus include a removable air tube extension that can be coupled to the tube assembly, ensuring fluid connection throughout the system. The design also allows for the electrode to be made from a metal rod or strip, and the connection opening can utilize various locking mechanisms. The apparatus is designed to facilitate the connection to a vacuum source for effective smoke evacuation during surgical procedures. Notably, the vacuum inlet is positioned to align with the user's line of sight, and the body may also include a light source for improved visibility. Overall, this electrosurgical device aims to enhance surgical efficiency and safety through its versatile and user-friendly design.
