  • International Classification:
    A61B 1814
  • US Classification:
    606 41, 606 45, 606 46, 606 48, 606 49, 606 50, 607 99, 607105, 607113, 604114, 128898
  • Abstract:
    The present invention provides systems and methods for selectively applying electrical energy to a target location within the head and neck of a patients body, particularly including tissue in the ear, nose and throat. The present invention includes a channeling technique in which small holes or channels are formed within tissue structures in the mouth, such as the tonsils, tongue, palate and uvula, and thermal energy is applied to the tissue surface immediately surrounding these holes or channels to cause thermal damage to the tissue surface, thereby stiffening the surrounding tissue structure. Applicant has discovered that such stiffening of certain tissue structures in the mouth and throat helps to prevent the tissue structure from obstructing the patients upper airway during sleep.

  • Abstract:
    Electrosurgical methods and apparatus for removing tissue from a target site of a patient. An electrosurgical suction apparatus includes an aspiration channel in communication with a distal aspiration port, and an electrode support having a plurality of active electrodes disposed thereon, the plurality of active electrodes spanning the aspiration port. Each of the plurality of active electrodes is adapted for removing tissue from a target site to form low molecular weight ablation by-products. Each of the plurality of active electrodes is also adapted for digesting resected tissue fragments to yield low molecular weight ablation by-products. Ablation by-products and resected tissue fragments are readily removed from the target site via an aspiration stream flowing proximally through the aspiration channel. In one embodiment, each of a plurality of active electrodes protrude in different directions from a beveled treatment surface of the electrode support, and each of the plurality of active electrodes extend from the beveled treatment surface by substantially the same orthogonal distance.

  • Abstract:
    Apparatus and methods for treating an intervertebral disc by ablation of disc tissue. A method of the invention includes positioning at least one active electrode within the intervertebral disc, and applying at least a first high frequency voltage between the active electrode(s) and one or more return electrode(s), wherein the volume of the nucleus pulposus is decreased, pressure exerted by the nucleus pulposus on the annulus fibrosus is reduced, and discogenic pain of a patient is alleviated. In other embodiments, a curved or steerable probe is guided to a specific target site within a disc to be treated, and the disc tissue at the target site is ablated by application of at least a first high frequency voltage between the active electrode(s) and one or more return electrode(s). A method of making an electrosurgical probe is also disclosed.

  • Assignee:

  • International Classification:
    A61B 1720
  • US Classification:
    604 22, 606 32, 606 41, 606 46
  • Abstract:
    Systems and methods are provided for removal (ablation) or modification of soft tissue with high frequency voltage through a capacitive charge process. Specifically, one of the conductors of a capacitor device maybe positioned adjacent to, or in the region of, a body structure. The other conductor is spaced, and electrically insulated from, the first conductor. A high frequency voltage is applied across the conductors to create a potential difference that results in a charge on the conductors and creates an electric field therebetween. High frequency alternating current flows between the conductors to a degree dependent on the capacitance and the current frequency. The charge on the first conductor is sufficient to modify the adjacent tissue. In some variations the charge is sufficient to heat the tissue for tissue coagulation or tissue shrinkage (i. e. , collagen contraction).

  • US Classification:
    606 32, 606 41, 607 99, 607105, 607113
  • Abstract:
    Methods and apparatus for selectively applying electrical energy to a target location within a patients body, particularly including tissue in the spine. In a method of the invention high frequency (RF) electrical energy is applied to one or more active electrodes on an electrosurgical probe in the presence of an electrically conductive fluid to remove, contract or otherwise modify the structure of tissue targeted for treatment. In one aspect, a dura mater and spinal cord are insulated from the electrical energy by an insulator positioned on a non-active side of the probe. In another aspect, a plasma is aggressively formed in the electrically conductive fluid by delivering a conductive fluid to a distal end portion of the probe and aspirating the fluid from a location proximal of the return electrode. In another aspect, a distal end of an electrosurgical probe having at least one electrode on a biased, curved, bent, or steerable shaft is guided or steered to a target site within an intervertebral disc having a disc defect for treatment of tissue to be treated at the target site by the selective application of electrical energy thereto.

  • International Classification:
    A61N 500
  • US Classification:
    128898, 606 41
  • Abstract:
    Systems, apparatus, and methods are provided for promoting blood flow to a target tissue. In one variation, the invention involves creating a pattern of voids in connective tissue, or through a tissue having sparse vascularity, such as a tendon or a meniscus, in order to increase blood flow within the tissue. This also includes using a template device to assist in the creation of the pattern of voids. Also included is an electrosurgical device with a self-contained fluid supply for providing conductive fluid to the target tissue or to active electrodes of the device.

    Apr 30, 2002
  • Appl. No.:
    10/135478
  • Inventors:
    Ronald A. Underwood - Belmont CA
    Jean Woloszko - Mountain View CA
  • Assignee:
    ArthroCare Corp. - Sunnyvale CA
  • International Classification:
    A61N 120
  • US Classification:
    607 99, 607113, 128898, 606 32
  • Abstract:
    The present invention provides systems, apparatus and methods for selective applying energy to a patients dermis tissue to generate the growth of new collagen in this tissue, while minimizing the effect on the outer epidermis layer, thereby minimizing or suppressing the wound healing phase of the procedure. In one aspect of the invention, a method includes positioning a first electrode adjacent to, or in contact with, a region on or within a patients skin, and applying a sufficient high frequency voltage between the first electrode and a second electrode to create a heat injury to a target tissue within the patients dermis layer without ablating the epidermis layer overlying the target tissue. Typically, the voltage applied to the first and second electrodes is sufficient to induce heating of the dermis layer to about 60Â-80Â C. , preferably about 65Â-75Â C.
