Abstract

An anti carbonization device to prevent the carbonization of tissue upon plasma coagulation by a suitable surgical instrument, wherein the surgical instrument has a feed line for an oxidizing agent, a feed line for a gas and an electrode for generating a plasma. A gas-oxidizing agent mixture for generating a gas oxidizing agent plasma is provided by the anti-carbonization device.

Claims (11)

1. An anti-carbonization device for preventing carbonization of tissue upon plasma coagulation,

said anti-carbonization device for receiving an oxidizing agent and a gas, and for providing a gas-oxidizing agent mixture for generating a gas-oxidizing agent plasma, the anti-carbonization device comprising at least one two-substance atomization device to feed the oxidizing agent.

2. The anti-carbonization device according to claim 1 , wherein the oxidizing agent is a liquid.

3. The anti-carbonization device according to claim 1 , wherein the oxidizing agent is gaseous.

4. The anti-carbonization device according to claim 1 , wherein the oxidizing agent is an aerosol.

5. The anti-carbonization device according to claim 1 , wherein the oxidizing agent is water.

6. The anti-carbonization device according to claim 1 , wherein the gas is an inert gas.

7. The anti-carbonization device according to claim 6 , wherein the gas is argon.

8. The anti-carbonization device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one two-substance atomization device is an internal-mixing device.

9. The anti-carbonization device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one two-substance atomization device is an external-mixing device.

10. The anti-carbonization device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one two-substance atomization device is a self-aspirating two-substance atomization device.
