摘要： A medical device for use in delivering RF energy to a tissue opening is disclosed. In one embodiment, the medical device comprises a compliant electrode. The compliant electrode can include a shape memory material, such as NITINOL, to facilitate the electrode having at least one relaxed orientation. The electrode can be deployed from a delivery shaft inside the left atrium, for example, of a heart through the delivery shaft. The electrode can be configured to substantially conform to the tissue proximate the tissue opening. After energy is applied to the tissue between the left and right electrodes, the left electrode can be removed from the left atrium by being received back into the delivery shaft and the delivery shaft thereafter removed from the opening.

摘要： A medical system for treating an internal tissue opening can include a closure device and associated delivery device. The closure device can include a body portion operatively associated with a first anchor and a second anchor. The body portion can include a plurality of segments defining a multi-cellular structure. The closure device can be configured to apply lateral force to tissue of the internal tissue opening to bring tissue together. The closure device can have a substantially flat aspect, and have a depth thickness that is substantially greater than the thickness or width of a majority of the members forming the closure device to reduce out of plane bending. The closure device can also include a member adapted to induce tissue growth.

摘要： A rotary variable differential transformer produces a substantially linear output over about 180 degrees of rotation of a rotor core. The transformer includes a base housing having a central bore, and a rotor having a shaft whose angular displacement is to be determined and a generally planar, circular rotor core mounted off-center at one end of the shaft and in a plane normal thereto. The rotor core is rotatably disposed within the opening of the base housing. Also included is a primary coil disposed in the opening of the base housing to circumscribe the shaft at a location rearwardly of the rotor core. First and second windings, with cores, are carried by the base housing and positioned about the base housing opening so that the axes of the coils are oriented radially of the opening and generally in a common plane with the rotor core. The first and second windings are connected together in series opposition. A casing surrounds the sides of the base housing and at least a portion of the rear of the base housing, and includes an opening through which the shaft projects.
