    摘要: A method and device delivers microwave power to an antenna through a coaxial cable utilizing air or other gases as its dielectric core. The cable includes supports made of low-loss materials to keep the inner conductor centered in the cable, and defining spaces therebetween for the air or gas. Channels in the supports allow the air or gas to circulate in the cable. The gas may be chilled or cooled to provide an addition level of heat dissipation. The device enables delivery of large amounts of power to tissue without undue heating of the feed cable or peripheral tissues, and without increasing the diameter of the feeding cable or antenna, keeping the antenna safe for percutaneous use.

    摘要: A medical instrument or device is used for resonant delivery of microwave power to tissue for the purpose of resection and coagulation of vessels during surgery and/or other medical procedures. The device enables delivery of large amounts of power to tissue without the need for ground pads by accomplishing an impedance match between tissue and the characteristic impedance of the waveguide that feeds power to it. The device includes a semi-rigid coaxial cable having a center conductor which protrudes from an outer conductor by a length set to be a λ/4 (quarter-wavelength) at the frequency of excitation in the dielectric environment of the tissue of interest. The coaxial cable is shrouded by a dielectric sleeve that provides both thermal and electrical insulation. Fitted against this sleeve is a conductive sleeve whose length is set to be a λ/4 (quarter-wavelength) at the frequency of excitation in the dielectric environment of the dielectric sleeve and the shroud. The device is connected to a feed cable at its proximal end, and can be connected to a source of microwave power. A directional coupler or other wave-sampling mechanism in combination with a power sensor and feedback circuit can be used to monitor reflected power from the device during the procedure, and to control the amount of power supplied to the device.

    摘要: A cooling device comprises a thermally conductive material preferably having a large surface area, such as a plurality of fins. The cooling device clamps or slides onto an energy-introducing cannula and can exchange heat with the surrounding air, or with a coolant enclosed in a camber or shroud around the cooling device. The coolant can be circulated via a pump connected to the shroud. The device and/or shroud can be stabilized and positioned by a positioning cone or spacer. The cooling device and method reduces, minimizes or eliminates thermal effects at critical points along the cannula, while enabling the distal end of the cannula, at which treatment is occurring, to reach a temperature sufficient to kill tumor cells.
