Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080255551 | Cryosurgical System with Low Pressure Cryogenic Fluid Supply - A liquid cryogen fluid system for providing cryogenic liquid to a cryoprobe in a cryosurgical system for treating fibroadenomas and other lesions in the body. | 10-16-2008 |
20080255552 | Fast Fibroadenoma Treatment System and method - A method of treating fibroadenomas with optimized freezing periods at a single freezing temperature and minimal thawing time between freezing periods, and a system for accomplishing the method. | 10-16-2008 |
20090182320 | Cryosurgical System - A cryosurgical system using a low-pressure liquid nitrogen supply, which requires only 0.5 to 15 bar of pressure to provide adequate cooling power for treatment of typical breast lesions. The pressure may be provided by supplying lightly pressurized air into the dewar, by heating a small portion of the nitrogen in the dewar, or with a small low pressure pump. | 07-16-2009 |
20100049087 | Rotational Core Biopsy Device with Liquid Cryogen Adhesion Probe - A device for biopsy of body tissue. The device is driven by liquid CO2, and is provided with a control system to control various components to effectuate rotating core biopsies. | 02-25-2010 |
20100198205 | Low Pressure Liquid Nitrogen Cryosurgical System - A cryosurgical system using a low-pressure liquid nitrogen supply, which requires only 0.5 to 1 bar of pressure to provide adequate cooling power for treatment of typical breast lesions. The pressure may be provided by supplying lightly pressurized air into the dewar, by heating a small portion of the nitrogen in the dewar, or with a small low pressure pump. | 08-05-2010 |
20110082454 | Cryosurgical System - A cryosurgical system using a low-pressure liquid nitrogen supply, which requires only 0.5 to 15 bar of pressure to provide adequate cooling power for treatment of typical breast lesions. The pressure may be provided by supplying lightly pressurized air into the dewar, by heating a small portion of the nitrogen in the dewar, or with a small low pressure pump. | 04-07-2011 |
20110112521 | Cryoprobe for Low Pressure Systems - A cryoprobe for use in cryosurgery and other applications comprising a rigid outer tube, an inner coolant inlet tube. a short rigid penetrating segment extending distally from the distal end of the outer tube and a helical-shaped baffle having a heating element disposed about the outer surface of the inlet tube. The baffle is adapted to produce turbulent fluid flow improving heat transfer and is able to warm target tissue during rapid freezing and thawing cycles. | 05-12-2011 |
20120179149 | Cryosurgical System with Low Pressure Cryogenic Fluid Supply - A liquid cryogen fluid system for providing cryogenic liquid to a cryoprobe in a cryosurgical system for treating fibroadenomas and other lesions in the body. The system includes a cryoprobe to cryoablate a fibroadenoma with a treatment regimen that takes less time and consumes less cryogen than currently accepted regimens. | 07-12-2012 |
