Abstract: A trocar assembly (10) includes a shaft (12) which extends from a housing (14) and which includes a distal tip (16). An imaging device manipulator (20) is disposed in the housing (14) and coupled to, and operative to move, an imaging device (26) located at a distal portion of the shaft (12). An illumination source (18) is configured to generate light through a light guide (34) towards the imaging device (26).

Abstract: A method for treatment of erectile dysfunction uses radiofrequency (RF) energy applied to the patient in proximity to the penile bulb.

Abstract: A light source assembly (10) includes one or more lights (12) mounted on a substrate (14). A transparent cover (18) covers the one or more lights (12). A shaft (22) is coupled to the substrate (14) and to a handle (24). An electrical wire (30) is connected to the one or more lights (12) and passes through the shaft (22). A fluid conduit (32) passes through the shaft (22) and is in fluid communication with a fluid port (34) near or on the substrate (14).

Abstract: A method for photothermolysis that includes applying galvanic current energy to skin at an area of a hair follicle and applying pulsed optical energy to the skin at the area of the hair follicle at an energy level and duration so as to cause thermal destruction of a hair papilla.

Abstract: An assembly includes an obstruction device including a proximal obstruction balloon and a distal obstruction balloon mounted on a shaft, the balloons being inflatable via one or more inflation lumens, and a space-occupying device mounted on a positioning member that extends from a portion of the obstruction device, the space-occupying device being proximal to the proximal obstruction balloon and inflatable via a space-occupying-device inflation lumen.

Abstract: A device including a combined energy applicator including RF electrodes spaced apart that are operable in a bipolar mode for application of RF energy, one or more thermal energy elements for application of thermal energy, and one or more optical energy elements for application of light energy, a temperature sensor assembled in the combined energy applicator for detecting a temperature generated to a skin of a patient, and control circuitry programmed to select which of the RF energy, optical energy and thermal energy is applied to the skin, the temperature sensor being operative in a control loop with the control circuitry to control the energies in accordance with sensed feedback temperature.
