Patent number: 11950348Abstract: A vapor delivery device includes an induction coil system. The induction coil system can include a coiled fluid tube, a coiled wire, a capsule between the coiled fluid tube and the wire, and a cooling fluid supply configured to force a cooling fluid through the capsule across the coiled wire. The induction coil system can include a closed loop ferrite core, a wire coiled around a first portion of the ferrite core, and a fluid tube coiled around a second portion of the ferrite core. A wire coil can be contained in a cartridge system removably coupleable to a disposable vapor delivery device. The system can include a fluid flow controller and induction power regulation to maintain a specific operating pressure range for vapor within a uterus or other bodily cavity, tract, or duct.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2019Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Aegea Medical Inc.Inventors: Daniel Van Zandt Moyer, Uriel Hiram Chee, Torrey Pine Smith, Hugh Edward Magen, Darin Charles Gittings

Patent number: 11849991Abstract: A method and system of providing therapy to a patient's uterus is provided, which can include any number of features. The method can include the steps of inserting a uterine device into the uterus and performing a uterine integrity test to determine that the uterus is intact and not perforated. If it is determined that the uterus is not perforated, a patency test can be performed to determine that the uterine device is not clogged or embedded in tissue. If the uterus is intact and the device is not clogged or embedded in tissue, the uterus can be treated with the uterine device, e.g., uterine ablation. Systems for performing these methods are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Aegea Medical Inc.Inventors: Robert Bilgor Peliks, Donnell William Gurskis, Steven Robert Bacich, Uriel Hiram Chee
