  • Methods and apparatus for cryogenic treatment of a body cavity or lumen
    Patent number: 11833076
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for the treatment of a body cavity or lumen are described where a heated fluid and/or gas may be introduced through a catheter and into treatment area within the body contained between one or more inflatable/expandable members. The catheter may also have optional pressure and temperature sensing elements which may allow for control of the pressure and temperature within the treatment zone and also prevent the pressure from exceeding a pressure of the inflatable/expandable members to thereby contain the treatment area between these inflatable/expandable members. Optionally, a chilled, room temperature, or warmed fluid such as water may then be used to rapidly terminate the treatment session.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 23, 2021
    Date of Patent: December 5, 2023
    Assignee: Channel Medsystems, Inc.
    Inventors: Daniel R. Burnett, Brian M. Neil, William W. Malecki, Kathleen M. Koch, Gregory J. Lee
