  • Publication number: 20250152226
    Abstract: An energy delivery probe is provided that may include any of a number of features. One feature of the energy delivery probe is that it can apply energy to tissue, such as a prostrate, to shrink, damage, denaturate the prostate. In some embodiments, the energy can be applied with a vapor media. The energy delivery probe can include a vapor delivery member configured to extend into a transition zone prostate tissue. A condensable vapor media can be delivered from the vapor delivery member into the transition zone tissue, wherein the condensable vapor media can propagate interstitially in the transition zone tissue and be confined in the transition zone tissue by boundary tissue adjacent to the transition zone tissue. Methods associated with use of the energy delivery probe are also covered.

  • Publication number: 20250073439
    Abstract: Devices and methods for treating a skin of a patient using a serum comprising a plurality of microbubbles and a plurality of active elements are disclosed herein. The system can comprise a handpiece comprising a proximal end and a distal end; a distal tip at the distal end of the handpiece, the distal tip configured to deliver the serum; an ultrasonic transducer in the distal tip; and an inflow port in the distal tip in fluid communication with a source configured to hold the serum, where the inflow port is configured for topical application to the skin; wherein application of acoustic energy from the ultrasonic transducer causes the plurality of microbubbles in the serum delivered to the skin to oscillate causing cavitation of the plurality of microbubbles causing permeabilization of the skin allowing for penetration of the plurality of active elements in the serum to penetrate the skin.

  • Publication number: 20240398441
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 12124022
    Abstract: An endoscope includes a shaft having proximal and distal ends and a longitudinal axis therebetween. A handle is coupled to the proximal end of the shaft, and an image sensor is carried on the distal end of the shaft. A channel extends through at least a distal shaft portion and has a channel diameter, and a section of the channel is re-configurable between a constricted shape and a non-constricted shape to accommodate tools introduced therethrough. The combined diagonal dimension and channel diameter is usually greater than the outer shaft diameter. The image sensor may be connected to a connector on the housing by a first slack flex circuit and a lights source on the shaft may be connected to a connector on the housing by a second slack flex circuit.
