Abstract: The traditional tools of continuum mechanics are used to describe the behavior of a solid elastic matrix saturated with a viscous fluid. Conservation equations for mass and momentum, (with ...

Abstract: A monopolar electrosurgical device is the most commonly used energy-based surgical instrument. Monopolar devices are primarily applied to incise, ablate, dissect, and coagulate tissue by transferring ...

Abstract: Cautery is a process to coagulate tissues and seal blood vessels using heat. In this study, finite element modeling (FEM) was performed to analyze temperature distribution in biological tissue ...
