Abstract: Disclosed herein are ablation catheter tips and catheters, and catheter ablation methods, wherein a same channel within the catheter may be simultaneously used both for applying suction and attaching a target tissue to the ablation electrode, and for expelling a coolant introduced into the catheter via a second channel, fluidly coupled thereto.

Abstract: A transdermal antenna may be partially inserted into a cavity in the body of a mammal to receive wireless data transmissions from devices located within the body and relay the data to devices located outside of the body. The transdermal antenna may include a first antenna which may be inserted inside of the body cavity and receive radio frequency data transmissions from devices located inside the body. The transdermal antenna may conduct the received data transmissions to a relay mechanism located outside of the body using coaxial cables, waveguides or a combination of both. The relay mechanism may relay the conducted data transmissions to a receiver device located outside of the body by using a wire connection, such as a coaxial cable, or a wireless communication link via a transceiver coupled to a second antenna.

Abstract: The present Invention relates to a camera system suitable for use in minimally invasive surgery (MIS), among other applications. In at least one embodiment, the camera system includes an autonomous miniature camera, a light source assembly providing features such as steerable illumination and a variable radiation angle, and a control and processing unit for processing images acquired by the camera Io generate improved images having reduced blurring using a deblurring algorithm.

Abstract: The present invention provides a suturing device for internally forming a knot in a suture within a body cavity, during surgeries, wherein said device comprising a flexible pre-shaped helical lumen having two opposite ends, said lumen comprising n loops; n is a real number higher than or equal to 1; said helical lumen is adapted to accommodate at least a portion of said suture, such that said knot is obtained by threading by at least one end of said suture through at least one of said loops.
