Patent number: 11990769Abstract: Power circuitry for non-thermal plasma generation; optionally therapeutic plasma. Non-thermal plasma is generated distally by a catheter-like device which is flexible, narrow (e.g., diameter<5 mm), and longitudinally extended to reach, e.g., 50-100 cm into body cavities. A plasma probe power transmission cable is a part of the power generating circuit, its intrinsic impedance contributing to and constraining the time constant of an entraining RC circuit whose resonant frequency entrains the frequency of power generation by feedback. Variable length, construction and/or manufacture (for example) of the plasma probe potentially lead to different time constants. In some embodiments, transformer coupling is divided into a plurality of stages, allowing the final-stage transformer inductance to be selected with sufficient headroom to allow the use of compensation componentry to mask probe variability and maintain a targeted operating frequency.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2023Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: CAPS Medical Ltd.Inventors: Leonid Yanovitz, Ilan Oleg Uchitel, Boris Kogan

Publication number: 20240023224Abstract: Power circuitry for cold plasma generation; optionally plasma for therapeutic use. Cold plasma generation occurs at the distal end of a catheter-like device which is flexible, narrow (e.g., less than 5 mm in diameter), and longitudinally extended to reach, e.g., 50-100 cm into body cavities. A cable used for power transmission is a part of the power generating circuit, its intrinsic impedance being a major contributor to and constraint on the time constant of an entraining RC circuit whose resonant frequency entrains the frequency of power generation. In some embodiments, inductive transformer coupling to the entraining/transmission line circuit is used to generate voltage gain. In some embodiments, transformer coupling is divided into a plurality of stages.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicant: CAPS Medical Ltd.Inventors: Leonid YANOVITZ, Ilan Oleg UCHITEL, Boris KOGAN

Patent number: 10327812Abstract: A method is provided for accessing a pericardial space of a subject. The method includes advancing a guide member toward a heart, having (a) a transparent blunt distal end, and (b) a side-facing suction port. During advancing of the guide member, an imaging device disposed in the guide member generates an image of part of the heart. Subsequently to contacting the pericardium with the suction port, the imaging device is retracted proximally in the guide member. Subsequently, a portion of the pericardium is drawn into the guide member through the suction port. Following the drawing of the portion into the guide member, an image of the pericardium disposed within the suction port, is generated. Subsequently, a puncturing element is advanced in the guide member to puncture the portion of the pericardium that is in the guide member. Other applications are also described.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: RAINBOW MEDICAL LTD.Inventors: Yossi Gross, Michael Kardosh, Amir Kishon, Ido Sadan, Jonathan Yalom, Zev Sohn, Omri Gino, Leonid Yanovitz, Ofir Rimer-Cohen
