Publication number: 20240130779Abstract: A tissue cutting device has an outer sleeve with a distal window and an inner cutting sleeve which moves past the window to cut tissue. The inner cutting sleeve has a lumen which may have a larger proximal diameter than distal diameter. A perimeter of the window may comprise a dielectric material. A distal edge of the inner sleeve may be displaced inwardly.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: MINERVA SURGICAL, INC.Inventors: Aaron Germain, Kyle Klein, Michael D. Walker, Benedek Orczy-Timko, Balazs Lesko

Publication number: 20240032992Abstract: The tissue cutting device comprises an elongated assembly including both an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve. The outer sleeve has a tissue-receiving window, and the inner sleeve has a distal end which cuts tissue as the inner sleeve is advanced past the window. The tissue is received into a lumen of the inner sleeve, and the inner sleeve lumen is typically enlarged in a proximal direction to reduce the tendency of resected tissue to lodge therein. The tissue displacement member is optionally provided at a distal end of the outer sleeve to further aid in dislodging tissue which becomes captured in a distal end of the inner sleeve of the lumen.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Applicant: MINERVA SURGICAL, INC.Inventors: Aaron Germain, Kyle Klein, Benedek Orczy-Timko, John H. Shadduck, Michael D. Walker, Casba Truckai, Balazs Lesko

Patent number: 11712282Abstract: Cartilage and other tissues are treated by generating a plasma in an interior space of a probe and exposing the tissue to the plasma. The plasma is released through a gap in a working end of the probe.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Relign CorporationInventors: Aaron Germain, Balazs Lesko, Benedek Orczy-Timko

Patent number: 11672586Abstract: A probe for ablating tissue comprises an electrosurgical working end configured to provide a first plasma about a first surface location and a second plasma about a second surface location, the first plasma having first ablation parameters and the second plasma having second ablation parameters. The probe has a working end with a thickness below 3 mm and produces a low temperature plasma.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Relign CorporationInventors: Aaron Germain, Balazs Lesko, Benedek Orczy-Timko

Publication number: 20210153898Abstract: A fluid management system for use with a fluid reservoir includes an inflow pump and an outflow pump. The inflow pump is connectable to a probe for delivering a distention fluid to a body cavity. The outflow pump removes the distention fluid through the same probe, thus establishing a re-circulating volume of distention fluid within the body cavity. The removed fluid is filtered and returned to a fluid reservoir for eventual recycling to the body cavity. A controller adjusts the flow rates of the inflow pump and the outflow pump to maintain a pre-selected fluid pressure or volume within the body cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2021Publication date: May 27, 2021Applicant: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Csaba Truckai, Aaron Germain, Kyle Klein, John H.
