Abstract:
A medical coagulation apparatus comprising:inert gas supply means for supplying an inert gas;a casing formed to have a size capable of being grasped and having a jet nozzle for guiding the inert gas supplied from said inert gas supply means;a transformer housed within said casing and having a winding of a small number of turns wound on a primary side and a winding of a large number of turns wound on a secondary side, one end of the secondary side floating or being connected to the primary side and the other end being connected to a discharge portion placed in the proximity of the jet nozzle of said casing; andpower supply means connected to the primary side of said transformer for producing a single-pole discharge at the discharge portion connected to the secondary side of the transformer, accumulating electric charge on the surface of a living body by electrostatic induction between the apparatus and the living body, and passing a current, which has a frequency that generates a high potential for supplying electrical energy, into the primary side.
