An electrosurgical instrument is provided and includes an elongated housing having proximal and distal ends. The proximal end configured to couple to a source of electrosurgical energy via first and second channels extending along a length of the housing to the distal end thereof. The distal end including a reflector having a dielectric load operably coupled thereto and configured to receive at least a portion of the first conductor therein. In a first mode of operation, electrosurgical energy is transmitted to the first channel and reflected from the reflector to electrosurgically treat tissue. The reflector is configured to receive at least a portion of the second channel therein. In a second mode of operation, electrosurgical energy transmitted to the second channel to dissect tissue.

A microwave antenna assembly (30) comprises a feedline (32) including an inner conductor (44), an outer conductor (42), and a first dielectric (46) disposed between the inner and outer conductors. A radiating portion (38) is mechanically coupled to the feedline via compression (74,76). The radiating portion (38) is electrically connected to the inner conductor. A second dielectric (62) separates at least a portion of the radiating portion from contact with the outer conductor (42).
摘要:
A microwave ablation system is presented including a microwave applicator having an antenna configured to deliver microwave energy and a microwave generator coupled to the microwave applicator and configured to generate a microwave signal and transmit the microwave signal to the antenna. The microwave ablation system further includes a radiometer configured to measure emissions from a thermal field created when the microwave applicator delivers microwave energy, the thermal field providing in-situ quantitative information of a material in the thermal field. The quantitative information is used to automatically adjust power transmission and time settings of the microwave generator to compensate for different thermal environments.

A balun short (110) is disposed in electrical communication around the outer conductor. The balun short includes at least one longitudinal notch (111) defined therein. An inflow tube (140) is disposed longitudinally along the outer conductor and at least partially within the at least one longitudinal notch.
摘要:
The present invention relates to comprehensive systems, devices and methods for delivering energy to tissue for a wide variety of applications, including medical procedures (e.g., tissue ablation, resection, cautery, vascular thrombosis, treatment of cardiac arrhythmias and dysrhythmias, electrosurgery, tissue harvest, etc.). In certain embodiments, systems, devices, and methods are provided for treating a tissue region (e.g., a tumor) through application of energy.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a nonmagnetic water-cooled microwave ablation needle. The manufacturing method is designed for a microwave ablation needle of a nonmagnetic material and has a proper process procedure, favorable assembly quality, and high production efficiency. The produced nonmagnetic water-cooled microwave ablation needle is applicable to microwave tumor ablation surgery in a nuclear magnetic resonance imaging environment, and helps a doctor in charge to clearly determine a position of a tumor, improve piercing precision, have preferable control on a whole surgery process, improve a success rate of the surgery, reduce damage on surrounding normal tissues as much as possible on the premise of effectively inactivating the tumor, alleviate pain of a patient, and shorten a recovery cycle.
摘要:
A microwave applicator for insertion into living body tissue for use in microwave coagulation and ablation treatments includes a microwave transmission line extending between an attachment end of the applicator and an antenna toward an insertion end of the applicator with an outer conductive sleeve forming an enclosed fluid space around the transmission line. A fluid circulation system circulates fluid in the fluid space. A portion of or all of the circulating fluid can be injected into tissue that surrounds the applicator body from approximately the proximal end of a desired heating zone produced by microwave energy radiated from the antenna along the applicator body toward the proximal end of the applicator to hydrate and wet the tissue outside the proximal end of the desired heating zone to reduce the drying of this tissue and limit extension of the heating and ablation zone proximally along the applicator body.
