Devices and methods for thermal ablation of hypertrophied tissue, such as turbinates, with a resistive heating element adapted for insertion into the tissue. The device uses DC current to heat the resistive heating element, and is operated at relatively low voltage levels and low current levels. The device is easy to operate, and may be applied for predetermined time periods without feedback control, using a timing circuit or computerized control system. The resistive heating element is covered with a thin, non-stick, coating that is thermally conductive, such as Xylan TM , Teflon TM or other fluoropolymer or suitable material.

Methods and systems for medializing a turbinate. Exemplary embodiments comprise methods and systems for repositioning a turbinate proximal to a septum. Certain embodiments comprise an implant and a flexible member coupled to the implant. Embodiments may also comprise an insertion device to install the implant in a desired location.

The invention relates to a perforating apparatus and in particular discloses a rubber plug perforating apparatus. The rubber plug perforating apparatus comprises a pedestal and a press plate, wherein one end of the pedestal and one end of the press plate are hinged; a plurality of turbinate rubber plug cylinders with various specifications are arranged on the pedestal; the press plate is provided with a plurality of perforating devices with various specifications and capable of moving up and down; the rubber plug cylinders are one-to-one corresponding to the perforating devices; a through hole is formed in the pedestal under the rubber plug cylinders; and a lock buckle is arranged between the pedestal and the press plate. When the rubber plug is perforated, the rubber plugs can be placed into corresponding rubber plug cylinders and well fixed, so perforation can be conveniently conducted; and after the perforation, the rubber plug can be stabbed out of the through hole and convenience is brought.

A wave-dissipating block has a body and a turbine generator assembly. The body has an airway and an overhang. The airway is formed in the body, is substantially J-shape and has an opening communicating with a front of the body and substantially facing upward. The overhang hangs over the airway and has an air window formed in the overhang and communicating with the airway. The turbine generator assembly has a housing mounted on the overhang and has an air channel communicating with the air window, a turbine fan mounted in the air channel and a generator connected to the turbinate fan. Waves can directly pour into the airway with minimized loss of kinetic energy and forms a water column in the airway to effectively suck or push air to passing through the air channel to rotate the turbinate fan to drive the generator to efficiently generate electric power.

Disclosed is a method comprising: creating one or more pockets within an inferior turbinate of a patient, inserting one or more it that are easily inserted into the one or more pockets, wherein the one or more implants contain one or more therapeutic compounds and the one or more implants do not need to be removed from the inferior turbinate after implantation into the one or more pockets.

The invention discloses a method for realizing laser focusing, which utilizes reflection of a reflector and focusing of a focus lens to exchange an inner position and an outer position of a light spot of a laser beam in rings along the radial direction and to focalize. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps: the laser beam is reflected to a turbinate annular beam; the turbinate annular beam is converted into an annular beam; the annular beam is focused, so as to form an annular conical beam, and a hollow conical dark area is formed in the middle of the annular conical beam, thus obtaining a focusing spot of hollow annular light. The method solves the defects of laser focusing in the prior art and obtains a focusing spot with strong light encompassing weak light, almost uniform energy distribution and small gradient, thus improving the processing effect.

The invention discloses a heat dissipation auxiliary support for an embedded type LED lamp. The heat dissipation auxiliary support comprises a protective support. The protective support comprises a spring-shaped supporting component. An upper connecting component is formed at the upper end of the supporting component, wherein the upper connecting component extends toward the inner side of the supporting component in a turbinate manner. A supporting rod is formed at the inner end of the upper connecting component, wherein the supporting rod is bent downwards. A horizontal upper buckling plate is formed at the tail end of the supporting rod through compression. A lower connecting component is formed at the lower end of the supporting component, wherein the lower connecting component extends toward the outer side of the supporting component in a turbinate manner. A horizontal lower buckling plate is formed at the tail end of the lower connecting component through compression. The upper buckling plate and the lower buckling plate are each provided with a bolt via hole. A helical heat absorption tube is connected into the supporting component in an inserted manner and fixed to the supporting component. Multiple heat absorption groove holes are formed in the inner wall of the heat absorption tube. Multiple reinforcing rods are fixed to the inner wall of the heat absorption tube. According to the heat dissipation auxiliary support for the embedded type LED lamp, fire-retardant cotton is supported by the spring-shaped support, and the fire-retardant cotton of a ceiling can be prevented from covering the outer surface of the LED lamp; meanwhile, the heat dissipation auxiliary support is additionally provided with the heat absorption tube, and heat can be discharged conveniently; and the heat dissipation effect of the LED lamp can be improved conveniently.
