  • Abstract
    In recent years, various types of medical applications using microwave energy have been investigated and reported. In this study, we designed surgical device using microwave energy for hemostasis. This device has a pair of electrode for detecting tissue coagulation. In this paper, we fabricated a prototype of the device and evaluated the effectiveness of hemostasis by heating experiment with swine liver tissue.
