    摘要: A sheath for use with a cryoprobe in a cryosurgical procedure can have an opening at its proximal end configured to be inserted over a tip portion of a cryoprobe. The sheath can be connected to the cryoprobe with an end connector. Sheath can have a tip located at its distal that can have a trocar configuration for tissue penetration. A cylindrical section located inwardly from the tip can have a spiral groove defined on an exterior surface. At least one wire can be disposed within the groove so as to fit within the outer perimeter of the sheath. Wires disposed in grooves can include heating elements and temperature sensing elements. Sheath can further include a graduated catheter located inwardly from the cylindrical section and a handle located inwardly from the graduated catheter.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a cryoprobe capable of improving the cooling power of a cryosurgical system. A representative cryoprobe can comprise an inner cooling chamber and a radial chamber, positioned between the inner cooling chamber and an exterior wall of the cryoprobe. Preferably, the radial chamber is formed to have a low thermal conductivity so as to significantly reduce the transfer of heat between the body and the refrigerant in the inner chamber during a cryosurgical procedure. The radial chamber can be fabricated such that a vacuum can be applied to the radial chamber to further reduce heat transfer between the body and the inner cooling chamber. The radial chamber extends partially along the length of the cryoprobe such that inner cooling chamber is in direct thermal contact with the exterior wall at a cryoprobe tip.

    摘要: A cordless cryosurgical applicator system having a base unit and one or more rechargeable cryosurgical applicators. The base unit can be use to charge the applicator with a cryogenic fluid such that a cryosurgical procedure can be performed. Following use of the applicator, the applicator can be recharged by attaching the applicator to the base unit and refilling a cryogenic reservoir in the applicator from a cryogenic storage tank contained within the base unit. The base unit can include a self-contained assembly for generating a cryogenic fluid such that the cordless cryosurgical applicator system is essentially self-sufficient when attached to an electrical power source.

    摘要: A cryosurgical system having a coupler for connecting a disposable cryoprobe end portion to a non-disposable cryoprobe base portion. A cryoprobe can include a disposable portion that connects via a coupler to a non-disposable portion that is permanently attached to the cryosurgical system. Once a disposable portion is attached to the cryosurgical system, refrigerant can be circulated through the system and a cryothermal treatment can be performed. Upon completion of the cryosurgical treatment, the disposable portion can be detached and discarded.

    摘要: A cryoprobe for use in a cryosurgical system in which the probe tip has an increased surface area by having a corrugated, waved, or otherwise ridged configuration in its inner and outer surfaces. The increased surface area functions to provide greater surface area on the probe tip, and thus greater heat transfer, between the refrigerant and inner surface of the cryoprobe and between the outer surface of the cryoprobe and the target tissue.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a cryoprobe including heating capabilities within the cryoprobe tip for use in a cryosurgical system. A heating element can be operably secured to an inner surface of the cryoprobe tips, wherein the heating element can then be connected to an electrical current source such that heat is generated at the cryoprobe tip as the electrical current flows through the heating element. In one version, the heating element can comprise a resistive element laminated between layers of insulation while in other, alternative versions, the heating element can comprise a small diameter resistance wire attached directly to an inner surface within the cryoprobe tip. The cryoprobe can include a thermocouple secured within the cryoprobe tip so as to take temperature measurements during both freezing and thawing cycles. In some versions, the heating element can be operably secured within the cryoprobe tip using an expanding or rotating mandrel.

    摘要: A plate includes a substantially rectilinear posterior tab and an anterior tab. The anterior tab includes a substantially rectilinear rear longitudinal part connected rigidly to the posterior tab such that they form between them a first angle of between about 90° and about 110° and a substantially rectilinear front longitudinal part which is inclined with respect to the substantially rectilinear rear longitudinal part such that they form between them a second angle which is between about 230° and about 250°. The second angle is at the same angular orientation as the first angle. The plate is thus shaped appropriately in relation to the calcaneus and can be placed in position in a minimally invasive manner.
