Embodiment Construction

[0024] The following description is merely exemplary in nature, and is not intended to limit the disclosure, application, or uses.

[0025] The present disclosure provides a medical device having an echogenic feature for visualization of the device under ultrasound. The medical device may, for example, be a coil with an echogenic feature. A medical device system having an outer catheter disposed therein and a movable medical device including an echogenic feature may be used.

[0026] With reference to the drawings, wherein like numerals indicate like parts, and in particular to Figures 1A-1B , is shown and generally indicated at 10 an example of a medical device system in accordance with the principles of the present disclosure. Medical device system 10 is configured for insertion into a patient's anatomy, for example, for the treatment of tissue such as lung tissue. As examples, medical device system 10 may be configured for use in thoracoscopic, laparoscopic, percutaneou...

Abstract

A medical device system includes an introducer tube defining a lumen and an opening at a distal end. A medical device is disposed within the lumen of the introducer tube in a first position. The medical device is movable within the introducer tube between the first and second positions. In the second position, the medical device extends at least partially beyond the distal end. The medical device defines at least one echogenic feature thereon to allow visualization of the medical device when inserted in the patient's anatomy. In one form, a surgical electrode for insertion into a patient's anatomy is provided. The surgical electrode configured to apply electrical current to tissue includes a coil defining a plurality of helical turns and at least one echogenic for allowing visualization of the coil when inserted into the patient's anatomy. Features.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 972,070, filed March 28, 2014, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to medical devices, and more particularly, to systems and devices for insertion into a patient's anatomy. Background technique [0004] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may or may not constitute prior art. [0005] Lung nodules, lesions, tumors, and other cancerous or precancerous areas of tissue in the lung can be difficult to use with invasive surgical techniques due to attendant complications such as excessive blood loss, risk of infection, air leaks, pneumothorax, and other such problems treat. In particular, deep regions in the lung may be difficult to reach using conventional methods, further complicating treatment. [0006] Electroab...
