20090054934 | EXPANDABLE FILLERS FOR BONE CEMENT - Methods, systems, and mixtures deliver a bone cement to a void in a bone, and provide an expandable filler for expanding the volume of the bone cement. The void in the bone is accessed and a bone cement material is introduced into the void in the bone. An expandable filler is introduced into the void in the bone. The introduction of the filler can take place simultaneously with the introduction of the bone cement or before or after the bone cement. The expandable filler can be expanded and the bone cement can be allowed to set. | 02-26-2009 |

20100312054 | PROSTATIC TISSUE REMOVAL AND/OR PROSTATIC CAPSULOTOMY FOR TREATMENT OF CONDITIONS - Apparatus and methods are provided including identifying a subject as suffering from a disorder of an organ of the subject. In response to the identifying, a shaft is inserted into the organ, not via a natural lumen of the subject. Using a laser beam emitted from a distal portion of the shaft, a portion of the organ is ablated. A vicinity of the portion of the organ is cooled by introducing a fluid to the vicinity, and, subsequently aspirating the fluid therefrom, the introduction and aspiration of the fluid being performed via the shaft, while the shaft is inside the organ. Other embodiments are also described. | 12-09-2010 |
20110160575 | MICROPOROUS BALLOON CATHETER - A method and system for delivering a medicament into tissue, for example via a balloon with small pores. Optionally, the pressure used is high enough to cause jetting, but the pore sizes, pore density, pressure and/or delivery time are such that the jetting do not cause unacceptable tissue damage. Optionally, the pores are smaller than 2 microns, are between 300 and 600 per square centimeter and the pressure is above 8 atmospheres. | 06-30-2011 |
