Abstract
An ablator system includes a tool for insertion into a patient to ablate tissue. A system also includes a control unit and a pump system. A tool is adapted to receive RF energy from a control unit and ablate tissue between an electrode embedded in the tool and a return element. A control unit measures impedance between the electrode and return element and can disable the RF energy supply if the impedance is outside of an acceptable threshold value range. A tool has at least one port through which irrigation and suction are supplied by the pump system to remove debris. A tool houses a scope in an internal channel to provide visual feedback of the surgical site. A system therefore provides a tool that is visually guided to a surgical site, ablates tissue while utilizing active safety measures, and provides irrigation and suction to clear debris from the surgical site.
