Publication number: 20240180619Abstract: Apparatus is described including a tool, the tool including a shaft having a distal portion that is sized and shaped to be inserted into a subject during a surgical procedure. The tool includes a tissue-treatment tip, at the distal portion, that defines a beam deflector. An optical fiber is positioned to emit laser energy into the beam deflector. The beam deflector has a deflector surface, a first portion of which is shaped and positioned to reflect the laser energy toward a tissue-treatment tip surface, and a second portion of which is configured to absorb the laser energy and thermally conduct the absorbed energy to the tissue-treatment tip surface. The tissue-treatment tip surface is configured to thermally conduct the absorbed energy to the tissue by contacting the tissue. Other embodiments are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2024Publication date: June 6, 2024Applicant: Tag Dream Medical Ltd.Inventors: Yuval PERETS, Yaron Tal, Dan Nabel, Dan Michael

Patent number: 11638591Abstract: A tool has a handle and an elongate shaft that extends distally from the handle. A distal portion of the shaft is inserted into a subject during a surgical procedure. An optical fiber delivers laser energy to a tip at the distal portion of the shaft. The tip includes a mechanical cutting mechanism including a moving part that absorbs the laser energy, thermally conducts the absorbed energy to tissue that is disposed between the moving part and another part, and moves with respect to the other part in order to cut tissue that is disposed between the parts using a mechanical force that is lower than a mechanical force that would be required to cut the tissue in the absence of the laser energy. Other embodiments are also described.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2022Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: TAG DREAM MEDICAL LTD.Inventors: Yuval Perets, Yaron Tal, Dan Michael, Ran Weisman, Hagay Sitry, Hagay Botansky, Yehuda Ben Ami, Zachary Shane Sacks, Dan Nabel
