Abstract
Electrosurgical devices for ablating tissue and methods of making the same are disclosed. The electrosurgical devices include an electrode with a lumen for aspirating gasses and debris produced during surgery. The electrode also includes a plurality of upper active edges for ablating tissue in an electrosurgical procedure. The upper active electrodes are spaced apart to form a filter that filters out large tissue particles from being aspirated into the lumen. The upper active edges ablate the large particles to form particles that can pass into the lumen. A lower active edge is formed at the terminal end of the lumen for ablating tissue being aspirated into the lumen. The lower active edge prevent tissue particles from occluding the opening to the lumen.
