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.
