摘要:
A medical instrument includes an instrument position sensor operable to generate an instrument position signal. A first head position sensor is configured to be secured in a first fixed location on or in a patient's head and generate a first head position signal. Field generating elements are configured to generate an electromagnetic field around the patient's head. A processor processes the instrument position signal to determine positioning of the patient's instrument within the electromagnetic field. The processor also processes the first head position signal to determine positioning of the patient's head within the electromagnetic field. The processor determines the position of the instrument within the patient's head based on the determined position of the patient's instrument within the electromagnetic field and based further on the determined position of the patient's head within the electromagnetic field.
摘要:
A steerable catheter (10) is disclosed, having an elongated, tubular catheter body (14) with at least one deflection member (30) slidably disposed within a lumen (26, 28), secured at a distal end to a tip section (16) and terminating in an interconnect (46) at a proximal end and a handle (12) releasably attached to the proximal end of the catheter body. The handle has at least one sliding member (54) coupled to an actuator (18), such that manipulation of the actuator causes relative longitudinal movement with respect to the handle, wherein the interconnect and the sliding member engage when the handle is attached to the catheter body so that the relative longitudinal movement of the sliding member is transmitted to the deflection member and wherein the interconnect and the sliding member disengage when the handle is released from the catheter body.

An apparatus includes a body and a dilation catheter (40) operatively coupled with the body and configured to translate between proximal and distal positions. The dilation catheter includes a dilation member configured to dilate an anatomical passageway when the dilation catheter is in the distal position. A guide catheter (60) is coupled to the body and defines a longitudinal axis. The guide catheter is selectively positionable in a plurality of rotational orientations about the longitudinal axis relative to the body and is configured to guide the dilation catheter therethrough between the proximal and distal positions. The apparatus further includes at least one illuminating indicator feature configured to emit light to facilitate positioning of the guide catheter in one or more of the rotational orientations.

The invention provides a ureteral catheter with the same functionality as an access sheath, and providing entrapment and flushing capabilities for kidney stones. The catheter includes a reinforced, flexible tube with a retractable, claw-like mechanism. A mesh is stretched on the outside of the plurality of claw rods to form a capture cage. The claw can be clamped closed by a drawstring or any alternative method. The catheter may also include a hollow tube directed to the top or past the top of the claw, which serves to irrigate the enclosed area of the catheter. The tube may be in fluid communication with one or more of the rods when the rods are tube-shaped.
摘要:
The invention relates to a device for surgery used in microsurgery (eye surgery, glaucoma surgery, vitreo-retinal surgery, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, ENT, and / or other surgical fields), in laparoscopic surgery, endoscopic surgery, general surgery, gynecology, orthopedic and / or other human and/or animal surgical fields, more exactly to a device for cutting, suction, endo- illumination, endo-coagulation. This device can coagulate and/or remove by cutting and/or suction parts and/or tissues of the eye globe, but which can also be used for removing other parts and/or tissues of the body, with the possibility of visualizing through a fiber optic visioning system that can project images on a screen. The surgery device consists of two metal tubes of cylindrical shape, one outer tube (1) and one inner tube (2). that are arranged concentrically with respect to one another. The outer tube (I) being fixed while the inner tube (2) can be rotated around its longitudinal axis by means of mechanical, electromechanical and/or piezoelectric actuators, and/or by means of pneumatic (air or another) actuators. The actuators can be placed at the proximal part and/or at the base of the device and/or in a compartment separated from it at a short distance from the tip. The outer tube can be enveloped with fiber optic filaments that can be used for illumination, imaging and laser coagulation. The irrigation/inflation system consists of a cylindrically shaped hollow piece that slides onto the outer tube and on top of the finer optic envelope. The piece has an opening that is placed on the opposite side with respect to the cutting opening. Through this opening fluid (liquid or gas) is pumped in order to keep the pressure inside the virtual cavity (eye, peritoneum, and/or others) at a desired value. The flow of fluid is controlled by a system, not illustrated here, that is placed at some distance away from the end piece. This system maintains the desired pressure inside the virtual cavity where the device works in, by controlling both the amount of suction from the inner tube and the irrigation from this outer sleeve. The tubes (1) and (2) are forming at the distal part an area in the shape of a truncated cone which ends with an end-piece (3), and near the tip of the device, the outer tube (1) has an opening (4), which may overlap with one or more openings (5) of the inner tube (2), symmetrically placed on the surface of the inner truncated cone, and which, by rotation of the inner tube, they are sliding under the opening (4) of the outer tube (1), thus cutting the tissue/material, which is sucked and discharged to the base of the device due to a negative pressure created inside the inner tube (2) The fiber optic envelope contains fibers responsible for illumination, fibers that will serve to have a light source inside the eye and/or other organ and/or body, fibers that will be responsible to capture the image and carried to a visioning system that will recreate a bi-dimensional and/or tridimensional imagines that can be projected on a screen and the third type of fibers will be responsible for the transmission of the laser radiation used for photocoagulation. This fiber optic envelope can be placed on different others intra-ocular instruments (scissors, forceps, picks, hooks, and/or others) and/or other instruments used in other human surgical fields, and in combination with images capture by a second instrument and/or device having the same envelope, with the help of a visioning system with a integrating video software, not illustrated here, to measure and recreate a tridimensional image that can be projected on a screen.

A method is disclosed for delivering energy to tissue through an expanded ablation electrode and for controlling the energy delivered to control lesion depth and width such that wide and shallow lesions can be formed in target tissue in an anatomic structure of a patient during a medical procedure. A system is also disclosed comprising a catheter (104), an expandable ablation electrode (124), a generator and a controller.
摘要:
Ablation systems and methods of the present disclosure include a catheter including one or more image sensors. The one or more image sensors can facilitate, for example, positioning an ablation electrode at a treatment site of an anatomic structure and, additionally or alternatively, can facilitate controlling delivery of therapeutic energy to a treatment site of an anatomic structure.
