US Patent:

20100292684, Nov 18, 2010

Filed:

May 15, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/467122

Inventors:

James S. Cybulski - Menlo Park CA, US
Eric E. Schultz - Menlo Park CA, US
Fred R. Seddiqui - Los Altos CA, US

International Classification:

A61B 18/18
A61B 18/14

US Classification:

606 33, 606 41

Abstract:

Tissue modification devices are provided. Aspects of the devices include an elongated member having a proximal end and a distal end, an tissue modifier positioned at the distal end, and a linear mechanical actuator configured to linearly translate the RF electrode relative the distal end according to a linear translation waveform. The devices may be configured to operate the tissue modifier according to an operating waveform that is synchronized with the linear translation waveform. Also provided are methods of modifying an internal target tissue of a subject using the tissue modification devices.

A61B 1/313
A61B 17/16
A61B 90/30
A61B 90/00

Abstract:

Aspects of the invention include minimally invasive tissue modification systems. Embodiments of the systems include a minimally invasive access device having a proximal end, a distal end and an internal passageway. Positioned among the distal ends of the devices are a visualization element and an illumination element. Also provided are methods of using the systems in tissue modification applications, as well as kits for practicing the methods of the invention. Internal tissue visualization devices having RF-shielded visualization sensor modules are also provided. Minimally invasive RF tissue modulation devices are provided. In some aspects, the devices include a hand-held control unit and an elongated member. In some aspects, RF tissue modulation devices are provided and include an adapter that operably couples to a hand-held medical device. The adapter generates RF energy for delivery to a plasma generator on an elongated member.
