  • Multiple-modality ablation probe techniques
    Patent number: 12161407
    Abstract: A multiple-modality ablation probe can include a tube configured to transmit mechanical modality energy from a first end to an obstruction in contact with a second end. A first optical transmission media can extend along the tube to transmit laser modality energy from a laser energy source to the obstruction. A connector assembly can be mechanically coupled with the first end of the tube and with the first end of the first optical transmission media. The connector assembly can be configured for user-attachment and detachment of the tube and the first optical transmission media with a mechanical energy source coupling and a laser energy source coupling, respectively.

  • Reverse retropulsion lithotripsy device
    Patent number: 12059205
    Abstract: A reverse retropulsion device can include a lithotripter, a collection passage, and an energy directing device. The lithotripter can be configured to deliver energy to tissue located at a tissue forming region. The collection passage can be positionable at or near the body lumen. The energy directing device can be positionable near the lithotripter and the collection passage. The energy directing device can be configured to propel the tissue toward the collection passage.
