    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first expandable member that is expandable by an expansion medium. The first expandable member includes an exterior and a plurality of apertures. The expansion medium is released from the first expandable member when a sufficient pressure is applied to the expansion medium housed in an interior of the first expandable member. A second expandable member is positioned at least partially adjacent to the first expandable member. The second expandable member is configured to receive at least a portion of the expansion medium from the interior of the first expandable member. An electromagnetic energy delivery device is coupled to one of the first or second expandable members and is configured to be coupled to a power source. The first and second expandable members are sized to be expanded sufficiently to open a sphincter.

    Abstract: Apparatus for remodeling in the urinary tract of a human female comprising a remodeling device having a shaft with a profile and with proximal and distal extremities. A handle is secured to the proximal extremity of the shaft. A member is mounted on the distal extremity of the shaft. A plurality of needle electrodes are carried by the distal extremity of the shaft and are disposed circumferentially of the shaft. A pusher is carried by the handle for moving the needle electrodes from a retracted position in which they are within the profile of the shaft and an extended position in which they extend sidewise beyond the profile of the shaft. A pump is connected to the handle for supplying a cooling liquid to the distal extremity of the shaft so that it exits from the shaft in the vicinity of the needle electrodes. An RF generator is coupled to the handle and to the needle electrodes for supplying radio frequency energy to the needle electrodes.

    Abstract: Apparatus for being held by the human hand for treating the tympanic membrane in an ear by the use of electromagnetic energy. An elongate probe has proximal and distal extremities. The proximal extremity is sized to be grasped by a human hand and the elongate probe has a length so that the distal extremity can be held in close proximity to the tympanic membrane while the proximal extremity is being held by the human hand. An energy delivery member is carried by the distal extremity. Conductors carried by the elongate probe conduct electromagnetic energy to the energy delivery member. A dispersive member is carried by the energy delivery member for dispersing the electromagnetic energy from the energy delivery member and applies energy to the tympanic membrane to heat the tympanic membrane in order to cause shrinkage of the tympanic membrane.
