    摘要: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end and an ultrasound transducer coupled to the distal end of the elongate body. A cooling member is coupled to the ultrasound transducer. The cooling member and/or the ultrasound transducer is configured to directly contact an outer surface of an eye such that ultrasound energy can be applied to a targeted portion of the eye. A method includes disposing a medical device such that a distal end of the medical device is in contact with an outer surface of an eye. The medical device includes an elongate body and an ultrasound transducer coupled to a distal end of the elongate body. Ultrasound energy is applied to a targeted portion of the eye while the medical device is disposed in contact with the outer surface of the eye to reshape the cornea of the eye.

    摘要: A system comprises a first signal handling unit sized and shaped for insertion to a reference distance within a first body cavity and a probe sized and shaped for insertion into a second body cavity the probe including an energy emitting head and a second signal handling unit, wherein one of the first and second signal handling units comprises a transmitter and the other of the first and second signal handling units comprises one of a receiver adapted to receive signals from the transmitter and a signal reflecting element, wherein, when the other of the first and second signal handling units comprises a signal reflecting element, the one of the first and second signal handling units comprises a receiver in combination with a controller operatively connected to the receiver, the controller generating an output varying as a distance between the first and second signal handling units varies. In addition, a system comprises a probe sized and shaped for insertion in a first body cavity and a measuring element extending from the probe to contact tissue adjacent to an opening to a second body cavity, the measuring element being movably coupled to the probe to vary a depth to which the probe may be inserted into the first body cavity before the measuring element contacts the tissue adjacent to the opening of the second body cavity.

    摘要: A medical device allows movement control of a distal end portion of the medical device and is adapted for one-handed operation. The medical device is capable of omni-directional control of the distal end portion of the device. The device has an elongated member including a deflectable portion at a distal end portion of the elongated member. The device also has a control portion disposed on the elongated member. This control portion can be a handle for one-handed use by an operator of the medical device. The control portion comprises an elastic element and a flexible element. Angular movement of a first portion of the control portion with respect to a second portion of the control portion results in amplification of that angular movement in the deflectable portion of the device.
