Publication number: 20050203497Abstract: A medical apparatus and method useful for the efficacious thermal treatment of lumen such as varicose veins during laser surgery is provided. An energy delivery device comprising a diffusing optical fiber with a light-emitting section and a memory device having data programmed therein is also provided. The optical fiber includes a temperature sensor for measuring a temperature at a treatment site. An energy generator is connected to the optical fiber and to a positioning device. The optical fiber engages positioning device so that the positioning device can moveably position the light-emitting section of the optical fiber. Consequently, the optical fiber can be inserted directly into an appropriate position within a varicose portion of a vein or other lumen for thermal treatment of the vein.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2004Publication date: September 15, 2005Inventors: Trevor Speeg, Paul Ritchie, Robert Trusty, Scott Nield

Publication number: 20050203496Abstract: A medical apparatus and method useful for the efficacious thermal treatment of lumen such as varicose veins during laser surgery is provided. The method includes inserting an optical fiber into a lumen at a treatment site which has at least two treatment segments. The light-emitting section of the optical fiber is aligned with a first treatment segment within the treatment site. Energy is emitted into the lumen at the first treatment segment and a temperature of the lumen is measured at the first treatment segment. The energy delivered to the treatment segment can be adjusted in response to the temperature measurement. The light-emitting section is moved to at least a second treatment segment within the lumen and energy is emitted into the lumen at the second treatment segment. During treatment at the second treatment segment, the temperature of the lumen is measured at the second treatment segment.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2004Publication date: September 15, 2005Inventors: Paul Ritchie, Trevor Speeg, Robert Trusty, Scott Nield

Publication number: 20050113890Abstract: The present invention provides an energy delivery device for use with a medical treatment system for the more efficacious treatment of patients during laser surgery. An energy delivery device comprises an optical fiber and a memory device having data programmed therein. The data is specifically associated with the energy self-absorption properties of the optical fiber. This data may include a calibration parameter indicative of a self-heating characteristic of the optical fiber. The optical fiber and the memory device are operatively connected to the energy delivery device during use of the medical treatment system. The calibration parameter stored within the memory device is used by a main processor to calculate a corrected temperature value from a measured temperature at the treatment site.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2003Publication date: May 26, 2005Inventors: Paul Ritchie, Trevor Speeg

Publication number: 20050113815Abstract: The present invention provides an energy delivery device for use with a medical treatment system for the more efficacious treatment of patients during laser surgery which limits the number of uses or prevents reuse of the energy delivery device after a certain threshold limit has been reached. The energy delivery device comprises a diffusing optical fiber and a memory device having data programmed therein and being operatively connected to an energy generator the optical fiber includes a temperature sensor for generating a temperature signal in a closed loop manner. The data stored in the memory device includes a multiplicity of use parameters, usage limits, usage counts, and count limits all relating to the properties of the medical treatment system. The use parameters may include an elapsed time, a total treatment time, and a number of treatment sites.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2003Publication date: May 26, 2005Inventors: Paul Ritchie, Robert Trusty, Jane Sheetz, Leo Samson
