New Bipolar Electrosurgical Tools Based on Zirconia

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

The choice of an optimum constructional material for the electrosurgical cutting tools based on nanostructured crystals of partially stabilized zirconia (NPSZe) is substantiated on the basis of criteria of operational stability and functional efficiency. The results of research into adsorption of organic molecules on the surface of the material are used to study the adhesion characteristics of NPSZe. The models of the innovative tools, such as curved bipolar electrosurgical scissors, bipolar forceps, tweezers, and dissectors with nonstick spray, are presented. An experimental model of a high-frequency generator necessary for optimal tool operation is considered.
