Embodiment Construction

[0019] Currently used energy delivery devices have rigid tips and are therefore difficult to maneuver or maneuver during procedures involving ablation of tissue regions. Accordingly, there is a need for improved tips for energy delivery devices that can be formed into optimal shapes. The present disclosure meets this need by providing an energy delivery device with a flexible and adjustable tip.

[0020] Accordingly, provided herein are energy delivery devices (eg, for use in ablation procedures) that include flexible and adjustable tips. In certain embodiments, the present invention provides an energy delivery device for use in an ablation procedure, comprising: a) an antenna; and b) a conductive tip at the distal end of the antenna, wherein the conductive tip is made of flexible and Adjustable material construction. In some embodiments, the conductive tip is angled. In some embodiments, the conductive tip retains its shape during operation. In some embodiments, the condu...

Abstract

The present invention relates to comprehensive systems, devices and methods for delivering energy to tissue for a wide variety of applications, including medical procedures (e.g., tissue ablation, resection, cautery, vascular thrombosis, treatment of cardiac arrhythmias and dysrhythmias, electrosurgery, tissue harvest, etc.). In particular, systems, devices, and methods are provided for treating atissue region (e.g., a tumor) through application of energy using energy delivery devices with flexible and adjustable tips.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to comprehensive systems, devices and methods for delivering energy to tissue for a variety of applications, including medical procedures (e.g., tissue ablation, resection, cauterization, vascular thrombosis, treatment of arrhythmias and arrhythmias , electrosurgery, tissue harvesting, etc.). In particular, systems, devices, and methods are provided for treating tissue regions (eg, tumors) by applying energy using an energy delivery device having a flexible and adjustable tip. Background technique [0002] Ablation is an important therapeutic strategy for the treatment of certain tissues, such as benign and malignant tumors, cardiac arrhythmias, arrhythmias, and tachycardia. Most approved ablation systems utilize radio frequency (RF) energy as the source of ablation energy. Accordingly, physicians currently have access to a variety of RF-based catheters and power sources. However, RF energy has several limitations, incl...
