摘要： A cardiac tissue ablation system includes an elongate catheter configured to deliver a distal end thereof to a patient's heart and an expandable member formed at the distal portion of the catheter. The expandable member has an elastic portion configured to conform to the shape of a target tissue region upon expansion. The expandable member has a plurality of inflation settings that correspond to different levels of inflation of the expandable member. The system also includes a controller for selecting an inflation setting for the expandable member and an energy emitter movably disposed within a lumen of the catheter. The energy emitter is configured to deliver radiant ablative energy to the target tissue region.

摘要： A transducer assembly in accordance with the present invention includes at least one transducer element having a first end and a second end. A first electrode is coupled to the first end and a segmented electrode is coupled to the second end. The segmented electrode is adapted to allow the transducer element to be simultaneously driven by a plurality of electric signals. A generator in accordance with the present invention includes a frequency control loop to generate an electrical signal having a desired level of vibration. A first amplifier having a selected gain receives the electrical signal from the frequency control loop. The first amplifier generates a first output signal to drive the transducer element. A second amplifier having a selected gain receives the electrical signal from the frequency control loop. The second amplifier generates a second output signal to drive the transducer element.

摘要： An ultrasonic surgical instrument is described for use in medical procedures to, for example, dissect or cut living organic tissue. The ultrasonic surgical instrument includes an outer sheath, a waveguide, and an improved acoustic isolation element. The acoustic isolation element is bonded to both the ultrasonic waveguide and the interior surface of the outer sheath, creating an acoustic isolation seal. The improved acoustic isolation element seals the distal end of the ultrasonic instrument, substantially improving its ability to reduce or eliminate penetration by liquids or other contaminants during, for example, soaking or steam autoclave sterilization.

摘要： A coupling structure releasably attaches a plurality of transmission members to each other. Non-vibratory structures hold a second end of the first transmission member in contact with a first end of the second member. A method including the steps of providing a first non-vibratory structure carrying the first transmission member, and providing a second non-vibratory structure carrying the second transmission member. The method also includes the steps of attaching the first non-vibratory structure to the second non-vibratory structure to hold a coupling end of the first transmission rod in contact with a coupling end of the second transmission rod without the use of a threaded connection between the first and second components.
