Abstract
Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a series of surgical instruments utilizing liquid jets for cutting, ablating, debriding, washing, etc., tissues and/or other materials from the interior and/or external surface of the body of a patient. Certain embodiments of the liquid jet surgical instruments provided according to the invention utilize a channel positioned adjacent to and downstream of a liquid jet-forming nozzle such that at least a portion of the liquid jet passes at least one of within the channel and adjacent to and along the length of at least a portion of a longitudinally-oriented opening in the channel, when the instrument is in operation. The use of such channels in certain embodiments of the inventive liquid jet surgical instruments can enable the instruments to provide enhanced control over the depth and degree of cutting and/or ablation of tissue; and/or can provide improved and enhanced functionality for cleaning, debriding, and/or trimming and cutting a tissue surface; and/or can provide longer effective liquid jet beam cutting/ablation lengths by reducing the degree of dispersion of the jet along its length, especially for instruments utilized in a surrounding gaseous environment.
