| 20130172758 | Trans-septal Puncture Catheter Incorporating Intra-cardiac Echocardiography - This invention relates to a pre-formed shape-memory trans-septal puncture catheter incorporating an intra cardiac echocardiography sensor and smart sheath and a related method of use | 07-04-2013 |
| 20150065886 | COHESIVE ROBOT-ULTRASOUND PROBE FOR PROSTATE BIOPSY - An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a device and method for a transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided prostate biopsy. The device includes an ultrasound wand equipped with a lateral fire ultrasound sensor. The ultrasound wand also defines a channel having an oblique path though the wand. The channel accommodates a biopsy needle, which can be pivoted as well inserted through the channel to different depths in order to perform a biopsy of the prostate. The device therefore uses only three degrees-of-freedom of movement in order to obtain the biopsy samples. Additionally, the ultrasound wand can be used to generate a three-dimensional image of the prostate. | 03-05-2015 |
| 20150087994 | BIOPSY SYSTEM - In the biopsy system according to one embodiment, the needle tube of the treatment tool has the minor axis of the flattened portion and the bending plane of the bending portion parallel to each other. Accordingly, the needle tube is easily bent in the bending direction of the bending portion, and even in an endoscope that has few bendable directions and is bendable, for example, in only two directions (e.g., up and down), the bending operation of the bending portion is not easily hindered. As a result, even after the treatment tool for endoscopes is inserted into the endoscope, the bending portion can be easily bent with a predetermined bending amount, and a procedure can be easily performed. | 03-26-2015 |
| 20150366544 | AN APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR BIOPSY AND THERAPY - A biopsy and therapy device comprising: a needling unit for holding and inserting a biopsy needle; an imaging module comprising an ultrasound probe and an actuator for moving the probe in a reciprocal action; a first arcuate slide; a second arcuate slide in sliding engagement with the first arcuate slide and a linkage to which the first arcuate slide is mounted; said linkage arranged to move the first and second arcuate slides within a vertical plane; said needling unit mounted to said arcuate slide wherein the first and second arcuate slides are mounted perpendicular to each other so as to rotate the needling unit about respective first and second principal axes. | 12-24-2015 |
| 20160007975 | BIOLOGICAL TISSUE BIOPSY DEVICE | 01-14-2016 |
| 20160008075 | SYSTEMS FOR ABDOMINAL WALL LIFTING AND NEEDLE INSERTION | 01-14-2016 |
| 20160022309 | Transperineal Prostate Biopsy Device, Systems, and Methods of Use - A transperineal biopsy guide including a guide member and a displacement member supported by the guide member. The guide member may be configured to operably couple with the transrectal probe and may include a distal end, a proximal end opposite the distal end, and a length extending along a longitudinal axis between the distal and proximal ends. The displacement member may be configured to support the access needle and displace the access needle along at least a portion of the length of the guide member between the distal and proximal ends. The access needle may extend into the subcutaneous tissue when the access needle is displaced to the distal end. | 01-28-2016 |
| 20160038118 | ULTRASONIC PROBE AND ALIGNED NEEDLE GUIDE SYSTEM - A side-fire ultrasonic probe includes an alignment feature that, when used to connect the probe with a needle guide for intra-cavity medical procedures, enables alignment of a needle in an imaging plane of an ultrasonic transducer. The alignment feature is configured such that alignment of the needle within the imaging plane is accomplished when a protective sheath is disposed between the alignment feature and the needle guide. This configuration can be used with high frequency ultrasonic arrays having frequency distributions centered at about 20 MHz, and for medical procedures, such as biopsying organs or other bodily intra-cavity structures, and delivering intra-cavity therapies. | 02-11-2016 |
| 20160374652 | Biospy System - A biopsy assembly for collecting tissue samples by means of a biopsy needle when introduced in a body cavity. The biopsy assembly comprises an elongated member ( | 12-29-2016 |
