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

Publication number: 20230248423Abstract: Tissue is resected and extracted from an interior location in a patient’s body using a probe or tool which both effects resection and causes vaporization of a liquid or other fluid to propel the resected tissue through an extraction lumen of the resecting device. Resection is achieved using an electrosurgical electrode assembly including a first electrode on a resecting member and a second electrode within a resection probe or tool. Over a first resecting portion, radio frequency current helps resect the tissue and over a second or over transition region, the RF current initiates vaporization of the fluid or other liquid to propel the tissue from the resection device. In one embodiment, an extending element extends from a housing and into a channel in a resecting member as the resecting member moves toward a distal position.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Applicant: MINERVA SURGICAL, INC.Inventors: AARON GERMAIN, MICHAEL D. WALKER, BENEDEK ORCZY-TIMKO

Resection is achieved using an electrosurgical electrode assembly including a first electrode on a resecting member and a second electrode within a resection probe or tool. Over a first resecting portion, radio frequency current helps resect the tissue and over a second or over transition region, the RF current initiates vaporization of the fluid or other liquid to propel the tissue from the resection device.

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.

Publication number: 20210068893Abstract: A tissue resection device includes an elongate shaft having a ceramic working end with a window and a wire-like electrode. A motor oscillates the electrode back and forth in an arc between opposing sides of the window. The working end is engaged against a tissue surface while radiofrequency current is delivered to the wire-like electrode to cut tissue received within the window. A negative pressure source may be connected to the window through an interior passageway in the elongate shaft to extract cut tissue from the working end.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2020Publication date: March 11, 2021Inventors: Csaba Truckai, Benedek Orczy-Timko
