This invention discloses a controllable dripping bipolar ablation hemostatic forceps, relating to the field of hemostatic forceps technology. It includes a clamping component, a connecting base with a connecting member on one side, a first forceps handle fixed to one side of the connecting base, a second forceps handle fixed to one side of the connecting base, and a cooperating component. Through the coordinated design of the clamping component and the cooperating component, it effectively solves the shortcomings of existing controllable dripping bipolar ablation hemostatic forceps, such as poor operability, low surgical efficiency, and insufficient surgical field clarity. It abandons the cumbersome control method of externally driven dripping components, automatically and precisely adjusting the dripping volume according to the clamping force of the operator. This avoids insufficient dripping leading to tissue carbonization when the clamping force is high and the ablation intensity is high, or excessive dripping leading to fluid accumulation in the surgical field when the clamping force is low and the ablation intensity is low, ensuring the ablation and hemostasis effect. It eliminates the need for frequent manual adjustment of dripping parameters by medical staff, reducing the operational burden.

A catheter utilizes a distal electrode array configured for quantification of endocardial or epicardial propagation velocity, with electrodes defining approximately equilateral triangles, such that the calculated velocity can be approximated regardless of the wave front direction. The distal electrode array can also include resilient splines carrying the electrodes such that the splines can deform to ensure contact between the electrodes and the heart tissue. Additionally, the electrodes of the distal electrode array can be individually addressable. Bipolar ablation lines or boxes can also be implemented using two parallel catheters at the endocardium and at the epicardium. Certain configurations include one or more distal electrode arrays of sufficient size to span an entire ventricular tachycardia (VT) circuit. The catheter may also be configured to detect block lines by pacing from edge pacing electrodes of the distal electrode array, and / or to detect fiber orientation by pacing from several edge pacing electrodes.

The invention is entitled "Bipolar Organized Ablation According to Predetermined Periodic Sets of Time Slots". A method for applying bipolar ablation pulses, the method comprising positioning a plurality of electrodes of a catheter in contact with tissue of an organ. The tissue is ablated using the plurality of electrodes according to a predetermined pattern comprising periodic sets of time slots. Each of the time slots defines (i) a pair of electrodes (EP), (ii) a waveform of one or more bipolar ablation pulses (BAP) applied to the tissue by the EP, and (iii) a duration of the time slot. The time slots are applied sequentially, and the pattern further comprises at least one empty time slot.

The invention discloses a water-cooled needle-shaped radiofrequency ablation electrode which comprises a positive electrode needle body, a needle core, an insulating layer, a negative electrode layer, a negative electrode plate, a handle and a switching button module. The positive electrode needle body is a hollow long needle and is used for puncturing and transmitting radio frequency energy, and a discharge ablation section is arranged at the front end of the positive electrode needle body. The insulating layer and the negative electrode layer are sequentially solidified and attached to the outer side of the needle body to form a bipolar ablation circuit. A switching button module is arranged on the handle and can be switched between the negative electrode layer and the negative electrode plate, so that a bipolar or monopolar ablation circuit is formed. According to the system, two modes can be quickly switched on the same needle body, the supply pressure of cold saline water is adjusted through linkage of the mode detection module, it is ensured that the optimal cooling effect can be obtained in different modes, and the flexibility, accuracy and safety of an operation are improved.

This disclosure provides a flexible catheter for both electrophysiological mapping and ablation using a high-density array of electrodes. [Solution] This catheter can be used to detect the electrophysiological properties of the tissue 13 in contact with the electrode, and to perform unipolar and bipolar ablation of the tissue.

The invention aims at providing a bipolar ablation needle which comprises a shell, and a sliding groove and a sliding block matched with the sliding groove are arranged in the shell; the needle tail part of the first ablation needle is fixed in the shell; the needle tail part of the second ablation needle is fixedly connected with the sliding block, and the first ablation needle and the second ablation needle are arranged in parallel; and the sliding adjusting assembly is connected with the sliding block, and when the sliding adjusting assembly is driven, the sliding adjusting assembly drives the sliding block to slide in the sliding groove. Therefore, the two ablation needles can be kept parallel, the needle tip gap distance can be adjusted according to the operation requirement, the operation difficulty is lowered, and the operation risk is reduced.

Described herein are examples of a left atrial appendage (“LAA”) occlusion or elimination implant device further configured to ablate tissue located at an atrium of the heart or nearby veins and ostia. The implant device can be delivered to a patient's heart using a catheter system and includes a contact member comprising one or more electrodes. In use, the electrodes of the contact member can perform unipolar or bipolar ablation at an ablation site that is distinct from an ostium or interior of the LAA. The implant device can then be re-positioned at least partially within the LAA, and the contact member can be implanted to occlude or eliminate the LAA. The implant device can further include a securing element comprising one or more electrodes, the securing element configured to cooperate with the contact member in performing unipolar or bipolar ablation and / or occluding or eliminating the LAA.
