Abstract: A system for monitoring patient intake includes an acquisition and transmission device having an electrode configured to detect vagus nerve activity. A first internal inductive coil is configured to communicate a signal indicative of the vagus nerve activity detected by the electrode to a second external inductive coil. The system also includes a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a memory that cause the system to process the signal received by the second induction coil into data corresponding to intake of the patient and communicate the data to a server that is accessible by a clinician.

Abstract: An energy-based surgical device includes an elongated outer tube having a distal overhang, a proximal hub, a distal cutting member, and a flat spring. The distal cutting member has a U-shaped cutting edge and defines a mouth with the distal overhang extending therethrough. The flat spring includes a first portion extending distally along an exterior surface of the elongated outer tube and the distal overhang, a second portion extending from the first portion and bent over a free distal end of the distal overhang, and a third portion extending from the second portion proximally through the mouth of the distal cutting member and into the lumen of the elongated outer tube and traverses a majority of a diameter thereof. The distal cutting member and flat spring are adapted to connect to a source for electrosurgical energy for conducting bipolar energy through tissue disposed therebetween to cut tissue.

Abstract: A method for treating a sinus cavity is provided. The method includes the steps of inserting a plasma applicator into a sinus cavity defined in a bone mass, positioning the plasma applicator adjacent a tissue formation, generating a selectively reactive plasma effluent at the plasma applicator and directing the selectively reactive plasma effluent at the tissue formation. The selective nature of the reactive plasma enables treatment of specific targets inside the sinus while minimizing the effect on other tissues. Such treatment includes, but not limited to, sterilization of bacterial colonies, vaporization of unwanted tissues or foreign masses, stimulation of tissues by enriching the content of reactive oxygen and nitrous oxide pathways, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: An endoscopic forceps is disclosed including an end effector assembly having two jaw members movable from a first position in spaced relation relative to one another to at least a second position closer to one another for grasping tissue therebetween. Each of the jaw members is connectable to an electrosurgical energy source for conducting energy through tissue held therebetween. The jaw members are biased to the first position. The end effector assembly of the endoscopic forceps further includes a wire snare having a proximal end connectable to an electrosurgical energy source and a distal end translatably extending out of one of the jaw members and operatively associated with the other of the jaw members. In use, withdrawal of the proximal end of the wire snare results in movement of the jaw members from the first position to a second position and clamping of the tissue between the jaws.
