Abstract

In recent years, various types of medical applications using heating effect of microwave have widely been investigated and reported. In this study, a novel forceps-shaped device for surgical operations such as blood vessel sealing is proposed. This device has two meander radiation elements to heat up biological tissue between them using microwave energy. In this paper, proposed device was numerically modeled and heating characteristics was evaluated by numerical calculations. As a result, heating capability of the proposed device was confirmed.
