Abstract
Methods, systems and devices for applying energy to tissue, and more particularly relates to a system for ablating or modifying structures in a body with systems and methods that generate a flow of vapor at a controlled flow rate for applying energy to the body structure.
Claims16
A method for a controlled treatment of a body structure, the method comprising:
- positioning a working end of a vapor delivery system at a targeted site in a body;
- providing a flow of liquid media at a selected fluid flow rate in the system and converting the liquid media to vapor media in the vapor delivery system where a vapor flow rate corresponds to the selected fluid flow rate and corresponds to a controlled amount of energy using a flow controller and selecting the fluid flow rate on a controller interface wherein the flow controller is programmable to maintain the fluid flow rate at first parameters over a first time interval and maintain the fluid flow rate at second parameters over a second time interval;
- and
- delivering the vapor media to the targeted site for a selected time interval thereby providing the controlled amount of energy to the targeted site.
