  • Devices and methods for ultrasound imaging
    Patent number: 12186129
    Abstract: Methods and devices for generating ultrasound images during a medical procedure are disclosed. The device may comprise a shaft that includes a working channel for receiving an instrument, the working channel extending from a proximal end of the shaft to a distal end of the shaft, and an ultrasound sensor disposed radially outward of a distal portion of the working channel such that the ultrasound sensor at least partially surrounds the working channel. The ultrasound sensor may be configured to image a single field of view greater than about 90 degrees about the shaft, e.g., simultaneously, while conducting a medical procedure with an instrument inserted through the working channel.

  • INJECTION DEVICES AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20160287811
    Abstract: Medical devices for injecting tissue and methods of use thereof are described. The medical device may comprise a handle, a shaft, and a plurality of needles extending through the shaft, each needle defining a lumen therethrough and being independently moveable along a longitudinal axis of the device to transition from a retracted configuration to an extended configuration. In the extended configuration, a distal portion of each needle may deflect radially outward with respect to the longitudinal axis of the device. The medical device may comprise an end cap coupled to the distal end of the shaft and/or a locking mechanism to selectively lock the needles in the retracted configuration and/or extended configuration.
