System And Method For Bracketing And Removing Tissue
US Patent:
6698433, Mar 2, 2004
Filed:
Jan 14, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/047735
Inventors:
David N. Krag - Shelburne VT
Assignee:
Calypso Medical Technologies, Inc. - Seattle WA
International Classification:
A61B 1900
US Classification:
128899, 600420, 600424, 600431
Abstract:
A system and method for bracketing a tissue volume ( ) and later locating the bracketed tissue volume. The system includes a plurality of markers ( ) and a probe ( ) and detector ( ) for use in locating the markers by providing information usable by a surgeon that is representative of changes in proximity between the probe and the plurality of markers. The markers have various detection characteristics, e. g. , they transmit gamma rays, that are detectable by an associated probe and detector. The tissue volume is removed by manipulating a cutting tool based on the proximity information provided by the detector which can be used by the surgeon to define the boundary of the tissue volume. A two-part cutting tool ( ) is provided for removing the tissue volume, and a tissue anchor ( ) is provided for stabilizing the tissue during removal. The system and method of the invention are particularly useful in bracketing and then removing a tissue volume from amorphous, pliable tissue such as breast tissue.

System And Method For Stabilizing And Removing Tissue
US Patent:
6015390, Jan 18, 2000
Filed:
Jun 12, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/096807
Inventors:
David N. Krag - Shelburne VT
Assignee:
D. Krag LLC - Shelburne VT
International Classification:
A61B 500
US Classification:
600549
Abstract:
A system (8) and method for stabilizing a tissue mass, using temperature sensors (10), a scanner (80), and a cryoprobe (220). The sensors provide temperature information with respect to a tissue portion adjacent thereto. The sensors include an identification (ID) code and an ID decoder. The ID decoder compares the sensor ID code to an ID code contained in an interrogation signal provided by the scanner. If the codes match, the sensor transmits the temperature information to the scanner, which processes and displays the temperature information in a humanly recognizable form. The method includes the step of inserting a cryoprobe into a tissue volume to be stabilized so that a portion of the cryoprobe projects therefrom. Then, the tissue volume is frozen while monitoring the size or temperature of the tissue volume. Freezing is terminated when the tissue volume is frozen (or reaches a first temperature level), and then removed while grasping the cryoprobe so as to stabilize the tissue volume.

International Classification:
A61B019/00
US Classification:
128/898000
Abstract:
Systems and methods for locating and defining a target location within a human body. The system can include at least one marker, a probe, and a detector for use in locating the markers by providing information to a surgeon that is representative of changes in proximity between the probe and the marker. The marker can have various detection characteristics, e.g., gamma radiation, that are detectable by an associated probe and detector. The tissue volume is removed by manipulating a cutting tool based on the proximity information provided by the detector, which can be used by the surgeon to define the boundary of the tissue volume. The systems and methods of the invention are particularly useful in locating and then removing a tissue volume or other target location from amorphous, pliable tissue (e.g., breast tissue) or other body parts.
Systems And Methods For Stabilizing A Target Location Within A Human Body
US Patent:

Steve Dimmer - Bellevue WA, US
International Classification:
A61B 6/00
US Classification:
600431
Abstract:
Systems and methods for stabilizing a target location within a human body. One embodiment of the system provides a tissue anchor for holding a tissue mass within a human body. The tissue anchor may include a lead; a tissue fastener coupled to the lead; and a marker which can be detected by a position detection system to facilitate placement of the anchor. The tissue anchor can be used to help stabilize tissue in a surgical procedure, e.g., in excising a lesion in amorphous, pliable tissue (e.g., breast tissue) or other body parts.
