The Application of Advanced Nanostructured Film in Electrosurgical Device: Anti-Sticking Behavior and Thermal Injury
Author(s): Keng-Liang Ou and Han-Yi Cheng Keng-Liang Ou and Han-Yi Cheng
Background: Minimally invasive surgery is performed using an endoscope and other instruments including the electrosurgical units. However, concerns including surgical smoke, tissue sticking, and thermal injury are remaining in electro surgery. Aims: Accordingly, a newly developed electrosurgical electrode coating with hydrogenated Cu-incorporated diamond-like carbon (DLC-Cu) film is purposed to improve the instrument performance. Methods: The morphologies of DLC-Cu surfaces were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. In this study, lesions were made on the liver lobes of adult rats, using a monopolar electrosurgical unit equipped with untreated stainless steel electrodes or treated-electrodes. Animals were sacrificed for evalu.. View More»
