Figure 3From: Research and development of a new RF-assisted device for bloodless rapid transection of the liver: Computational modeling and in vivo experimentsSecondary function of the new RF-assisted device for rapid bloodless resection. Cross-sectional views of a fragment of target tissue showing a nearby blood vessel which impedes full coagulation. This secondary function may be employed whenever a bleeding point appears. The surgeon moves the bladeless side of the instrument continuously over the tissue in circular passes close to the bleeding point in order to achieve hemostasis.Back to article page
