International Classification:
A61B 18/18
US Classification:
606033000
Abstract:
A medical instrument or device used to decrease blood loss during surgery and/or other medical procedures. The device includes a microwave antenna housed in a handset (or laparoscopic probe) that is placed in close proximity to the tissue of interest. The device runs in the microwave spectrum and receives power from a from a microwave generator. When turned on (triggered), the device delivers microwave energy to tissue, providing a cutting or cautery effect.

Filed:
Aug 24, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/509123
Inventors:
Daniel van der Weide - Madison WI, US
Fred Lee - Madison WI, US
Christopher Brace - Middleton WI, US
Paul Laeseke - Madison WI, US
International Classification:
A61B 18/18
US Classification:
606033000
Abstract:
A method and system delivers microwave energy to a vessel, such as a vein for the treatment of varicose veins, in a controllable heating pattern and to provide relatively fast heating and ablation of the vessel. The method and system comprises a microwave delivery device for heating the vessel, and a microwave power source for supplying microwave power to the delivery device. The method and system may also include a cooling system, a temperature monitoring, feedback and control system, an ultrasound or other imaging device, and/or a device for assuring generally uniform energy delivery in the vessel.

Intralumenal Microwave Device

US Patent:
2007005, Mar 8, 2007
Filed:
Aug 11, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/502783
Inventors:
Fred Lee - Madison WI, US
Christopher Brace - Middleton WI, US
Paul Laeseke - Madison WI, US
Daniel Weide - Madison WI, US
Deepak Gopal - Madison WI, US
Patrick Pfau - Madison WI, US
Lisa Sampson - Madison WI, US
International Classification:
A61B 18/18, A61F 2/00, A61N 1/00
US Classification:
606033000, 607101000, 607156000
Abstract:
A microwave device that can be used to effectively treat esophageal pathologies comprises a coaxial, triaxial or quadraxial microwave antenna housed in an esophageal dilator or balloon. The device can be introduced into the esophagus alongside or through an endoscope, and will deliver microwave energy to tissue. This energy heats the affected tissue, which subsequently undergoes necrosis thereby eliminating the potential of the tissue to undergo malignant transformation. The dilator or balloon is used to keep the antenna in the center of the lumen allowing for symmetrical heating of the esophagus. The depth of penetration of the coagulation effect can be varied depending on the amount of power that is applied, the location of the antenna relative to the tissue, and the duration of the power application.
