Patent number: 9259241Abstract: System and methods are shown having a tube-within-tube assembly with a deployable curved deflectable tube or cannula that deploys from a straight cannula or trocar. The curved cannula has pre-curved distal end to create an angular range of 0° to 180° when fully deployed from the straight trocar. The curve is configured such that the flexible element carrying a treatment device can navigate through the angular range of deployment of the curved cannula. The curved cannula allows the flexible element to navigate through a curve within bone without veering off towards an unintended direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2013Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Relievant Medsystems, Inc.Inventors: Richard Pellegrino, Samit Patel, Harold Carrison

Publication number: 20150335349Abstract: System and methods for channeling a path into bone include a trocar having a proximal end, distal end and a central channel disposed along a central axis of the trocar. The trocar includes a distal opening at the distal end of the trocar. The system includes a curved cannula sized to be received in the central channel, the curved cannula comprising a curved distal end configured to be extended outward from the distal opening to generate a curved path extending away from the trocar. The curved cannula has a central passageway having a diameter configured to allow a treatment device to be delivered through the central passageway to a location beyond the curved path.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2015Publication date: November 26, 2015Inventors: Richard C. Pellegrino, Samit Patel, Harold Carrison

Publication number: 20150164546Abstract: System and methods for channeling a path into bone include a trocar having a proximal end, distal end and a central channel disposed along a central axis of the trocar. The trocar includes a radial opening at or near the distal end of the trocar. The system includes a curveable cannula sized to be received in the central channel, the curveable cannula comprising a curveable distal end configured to be extended laterally outward from the radial opening in a curved path extending away from the trocar. The curveable cannula has a central passageway having a diameter configured to allow a probe to be delivered through the central passageway to a location beyond the curved path.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2014Publication date: June 18, 2015Inventors: Richard Pellegrino, Samit Patel, Harold Carrison

Patent number: 8992522Abstract: Methods and systems for modulating intraosseous nerves (e.g., nerves within bone) are provided. For example, the methods and systems described herein may be used to modulate (e.g., denervate, ablate) basivertebral nerves within vertebrae. The modulation of the basivertebral nerves may facilitate treatment of chronic back pain. The modulation may be performed by a neuromodulation device (e.g., an energy delivery device).Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2013Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Relievant Medsystems, Inc.Inventors: Richard Pellegrino, Samit Patel, Harold Carrison
