Abstract
The cryoapplicator for minimally invasive surgical cardiac ablation includes a fastening part, an insulation part and an effector tip. A pin is connected with the fastening part on one end, and with the effector tip on the second end. The effector tip is bent by 60° to 90° angle in the side view in relation to pin longitudinal axis, and by 5° to 60° angle in the top view. A thermal insulation cover is located on the pin with the possibility to slide along the longitudinal axis.
Claims12
A cryoapplicator for minimally invasive surgical cardiac ablation, said cryoapplicator comprising:
- a fastening part;
- a pin extending along a longitudinal axis and having a first end and a second end;
- an insulation part;
- and
- a pre-bent effector tip, wherein said first end of said pin connects with said fastening part, wherein said second end of said pin connects with said effector tip, wherein said effector tip is pre-bent by a 60° to 90° angle along a first plane relative to said longitudinal axis, wherein said effector tip is also pre-bent by a 5° to 60° angle along a second plane relative to said longitudinal axis, wherein said insulation part is comprised of a thermal insulation cover located on said pin in a slideable relationship along said longitudinal axis of said pin between a first configuration corresponding to said effector tip in both a first application position and a second application position and a second configuration corresponding to said effector tip in a rest position, said thermal insulation cover being shorter than said pin, and wherein said pin and said pre-bent effector tip are collectively rotatable such that said pin is rotatable within said insulating part.
