| 20080287805 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO GUIDE AN INSTRUMENT THROUGH AN IMAGED SUBJECT - A system and method to image an imaged subject is provided. The system comprises a controller, and an imaging system including an imaging probe in communication with the controller. The imaging probe acquires image data with movement through the imaged subject. The system also includes an ablation catheter including a marker having a unique identifier to be detected in the acquired image data, and a tracking system having one of a plurality of tracking elements located at the imaging probe and at least another tracking element located at the ablation catheter. A display illustrates the image data acquired with the imaging probe in combination with a graphic representation of an imaging plane vector representative of a general direction of a field of view (FOV) of image acquisition of the imaging probe in spatial relation to a graphic representation of the identifier and the location of the ablation catheter. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090287090 | IMAGE GUIDED INTRACARDIAC CATHETERS - An intracardiac catheter for ultrasound guided ablation and EP mapping. Ablation and mapping electrodes | 11-19-2009 |
| 20140088432 | Biopsy Channel Attachment Adaptor - An adaptor for an endoscopic device includes (a) a cylindrical core extending from a first end to a second end along a central axis and (b) a collar slidably received over the core. The second end includes first and second slots defining first and second arms which radially expandable toward the axis and away from the axis. The second end is sized and dimensioned to engage an end of a first conduit of a biopsy device. The collar extendes from a first end to a second end and being movable from a first position in which the second end of the collar is axially separated from the arms and a second position in which a portion of the collar is positioned over the arms radially compressing the arms to lockingly grasp a free end of a first conduit positioned therebetween to create a fluid-tight seal about the first conduit. | 03-27-2014 |
| 20140163384 | INTERVENTIONAL CATHETERS INCORPORATING ASPIRATION AND/OR INFUSION SYSTEMS - An interventional catheter assembly comprising a catheter for insertion and guidance to a target site in a body lumen or a cavity and an operating head mounted in proximity to a distal end of the catheter and comprising a system for removing obstructive material from the target site is provided. In certain embodiments, the catheter assembly includes at least one aspiration port located proximal to the operating head that communicates with a first sealed lumen for withdrawing fluids and obstructive material from the target site. The catheter assembly may also include at least one liquid infusion port that communicates with a second sealed lumen for supplying fluid to a location in proximity to the target site. Kits including the interventional catheter assembly with an aspiration and/or infusion conduit are also provided. | 06-12-2014 |
| 20140257112 | GYNECOLOGICAL SCOPE AND MORCELLATION SYSTEMS AND DEVICES - An apparatus has an elongate element with a proximal end and a distal end. A connection element is disposed at the proximal end of the elongate element. A morcellator is disposed proximate the distal end. The morcellator has a shank with a base and a leading surface. The base is operably connected to the distal end of the elongate element. The shank at least partially defines a flute disposed substantially helically about an outer surface of the shaft. At least one cutting edge is disposed on the leading surface and proximate the at least one flute. | 09-11-2014 |
| 20150045675 | PERCUTANEOUS METHODS AND DEVICES FOR CAROTID BODY ABLATION - Methods and percutaneous devices for assessing, and treating patients having sympathetically mediated disease, involving augmented peripheral chemoreflex and heightened sympathetic tone by reducing chemosensor input to the nervous system via percutaneous carotid body ablation. | 02-12-2015 |
| 20150051495 | Method for surgically removing a tumor from a woman's breast - A method for surgically removing a tumor from a woman's breast is provided. The method can include inserting an optical trocar having a working channel and a transparent tip through a skin incision, guiding the transparent tip of the trocar through breast tissue with visualization such that the transparent tip of the trocar is placed adjacent to the tumor, insufflating gas via the working channel of the trocar to create a cavity in an operative field next to the tumor, dissecting the tumor free with a surgical instrument inserted through the working channel and removing the tumor through the trocar. | 02-19-2015 |
| 20150305711 | ENDOSCOPE - A first convex portion is arranged at an outer peripheral portion of a first support portion constituting a distal end portion of an insertion portion, and a protruding amount of the first convex portion is set such that an outer peripheral length of the distal end portion including the first convex portion is smaller than an outer peripheral length determined based on a distal end outer diameter as an effective outer diameter of the distal end portion, to thereby ensure durability without an unnecessary increase in a size of the distal end portion and improve insertability of the distal end portion into a subject. | 10-29-2015 |
