Patent number: 8083733Abstract: A cryosurgical instrument features a cryogen in liquid or liquid-gaseous (mist) form being supplied by a feeding lumen into the internal space of a cryotip at the distal end of the cryosurgical instrument. The distal section of the feeding lumen is helically coiled, so that an outer diameter of the helically coiled distal section fits an inner diameter of a cylindrical envelope of said cryotip, and said helically coiled distal section and said cylindrical envelope are in thermal contact.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2009Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: IceCure Medical Ltd.Inventors: Didier Toubia, Alexander Levin, Miron Kaganovich

Publication number: 20110178514Abstract: A device, system and method for controlling the temperature differential between the material within the cryosurgical instrument and the external temperature of the shaft, apart from at the cryotip itself.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2009Publication date: July 21, 2011Inventors: Alexander Levin, Didier Toubia, Miron Kaganovich, Kalman Gruzinsky
-
Publication number: 20110015624Abstract: A device, system and method for controlling the temperature differential between the medium within the cryosurgical instrument and the external temperature of the shaft, apart from at the cryotip itself, uses a fluid medium supplied within an internal space between the shaft and an intermediate lumen positioned between the shaft and a central feeding lumen of the cryosurgical instrument. The temperature of the fluid medium is controlled to provide control of the temperature differential.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2009Publication date: January 20, 2011Applicant: ICECURE MEDICAL LTD.Inventors: Didier Toubia, Alexander Levin, Miron Kaganovich
-
Publication number: 20100324546Abstract: A device, system and method for a cryoprobe which features a heating component for heating at least a proximal portion of the tip of the cryoprobe, thereby preventing damage to an adjacent portion of tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2008Publication date: December 23, 2010Inventors: Alexander Levin, Didier Toubia, Miron Kaganovich

Patent number: 7803154Abstract: A cryoprobe for surgical and other treatments. The cryoprobe comprises an expandable section that performs displacement of a distal cryotip forwards when there is elevation of the operation pressure in the interior of the cryoprobe. Needle-wise metal elements are installed on the external side of the cryotip. These needle-wise elements are deflecting outwards by a deflecting member fastened on the distal edge of an external shaft of the cryoprobe. This allows a significant enlargement of the frozen volume of the treated tissue with the same operation temperature and the outer diameter of the cryoprobe. In another embodiment, the needle elements are formed in a displaceable metal sheath and a distal section of a cryotip and/or special protrusions on this distal section act as the deflecting member.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2007Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: Arbel Medical Ltd.Inventors: Didier Toubia, Alexander Levin, Miron Kaganovich

Publication number: 20100162730Abstract: A siphon for delivery of a liquid cryogen from a container such as a Dewar flask. The siphon ensures delivery of a liquid cryogen with a lower proportion of the gaseous fraction. The siphon comprises a central feeding conduit, which is largely contained within the Dewar flask. There is an auxiliary conduit surrounding the central feeding conduit; the outer upper section of this auxiliary conduit is provided with an adjustable valve intended to release a gaseous fraction of the cryogen contained in the annular gap between the auxiliary and central feeding conduits. The upper section of the central feeding conduit is provided with an external layer of a porous capillary coating or with a wick; this ensures that the upper section of the central feeding conduit is continuously wetted with the liquid cryogen. This porous capillary coating prevents gasification of the liquid cryogen in the central feeding conduit.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2008Publication date: July 1, 2010Applicant: ARBEL MEDICAL LTD.Inventors: Alexander Levin, Didier Toubia, Miron Kaganovich
