Minimizing thermal damage using self-cooling jaws for radiofrequency intestinal tissue fusion Minim. Invasive Ther. Allied Tech. (IF 1.7) Pub Date : 2022-12-15 Liangyong Tu, Y. U. Zhou, Peiyao Wang, Haochen Wang, L. I. N. Mao, Jian Hou, Ziyue Liu, Chengli Song
Abstract Introduction Radiofrequency (RF)-induced tissue fusion shows great potential in sealing intestinal tissue without foreign materials. To improve the performance of RF-induced tissue fusion, a novel self-cooling jaw has been designed to minimize thermal damage during the fusion. Material and methods The prototype of self-cooling jaws was developed and manufactured. A total number of 60 mucosa-to-mucosa
