  • Patent number: 11779395
    Abstract: An energy delivery probe and method of using the energy delivery probe to treat a patient is provided herein. The energy delivery probe has at least one probe body having a longitudinal axis and at least a first trocar and a second trocar. Each trocar comprises at least two electrodes that are electrically insulated from each other, and each electrode is independently selectively activatable. An insulative sleeve is positioned in a coaxially surrounding relationship to each of the first trocar and the second trocar. The probe also has a switching means for independently activating at least one electrode. The method involves independently and selectively activating the first and second electrodes to form an ablation zone, then repeating the ablation by delivering energy to a second set of electrodes, producing one or more overlapping ablation zone, and eliminating the need to reposition the ablation probes.

  • Patent number: 10751116
    Abstract: An energy delivery device for treating a patient includes a probe body; a plurality of guide sleeves positioned inside the probe body and adapted to be deployed radially away from the probe body and into tissue of the patient; and a plurality of elongate electrode elements each adapted to receive electrical treatment energy from an energy source and adapted to be deployed into the tissue through a corresponding deployed guide sleeve. The guide sleeves provide a structural pathway for guiding the electrodes along their intended trajectory and for determining the angle of deployment of the electrodes relative to the longitudinal axis of the probe body.

  • Patent number: 10258405
    Abstract: A tissue treatment selection device that has at least one treatment delivery member, a delivery setting circuit that is coupled to the treatment delivery member that is adapted to be deployed into tissue to deliver therapeutic energy to a target tissue zone, and the processing circuit is operable to set treatment parameters in the delivery setting circuit that is operable to set treatment parameters in the delivery setting circuit. The processing circuit is operable to transmit a test signal through the deployed treatment delivery member and to determine deployment status. The treatment selection device has a processing circuit adapted to send a message to a display device that indicates that the deployed treatment delivery member has been determined to be compensable and contains a suggested change in the treatment parameters. Also presented herein is a method of treating a tissue of a patient using the treatment delivery device.
