Abstract
A medical device may comprise a handle having at least one actuator, a shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending therebetween, the proximal end connected to the handle, the shaft including a distal articulable section including a distal tip, wherein the distal articulable section is configured to be articulated along a plane, a needle having a delivery lumen, the needle being movably positioned within the lumen of the shaft, and a vapor generator in fluid communication with the delivery lumen.
Claims20
A medical device, comprising:
- a handle having an actuator;
- a shaft having:
- a shaft body having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending therebetween, wherein the proximal end is connected to the handle, wherein the shaft body is a one-piece extruded structure, and
- an articulation tube radially surrounding an exterior surface of the shaft body, wherein the articulation tube includes a plurality of slots, wherein the articulation tube is configured to be articulated along a plane;
- a needle having a delivery lumen, the needle being movably positioned within the lumen of the shaft body;
- and
- a vapor generator in fluid communication with the delivery lumen,
- wherein the shaft body further includes a first channel, wherein a first portion of the first channel is defined by the exterior surface of the shaft body, and wherein a second portion of the first channel is defined by an interior surface of the articulation tube,
- wherein the shaft body further includes a second channel, wherein a first portion of the second channel is defined by the exterior surface of the shaft body, and wherein a second portion of the second channel is defined by the interior surface of the articulation tube, and
- wherein the lumen is positioned between the first channel and the second channel.
A medical device, comprising:
- a handle having a first actuator and a second actuator;
- a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the shaft has a distal articulable section configured to be articulated along a plane upon actuation of the first actuator, and wherein the shaft includes:
- a shaft body defining a needle lumen, a first channel, and a second channel;
- and
- a sheath radially surrounding an exterior surface of the shaft body,
- wherein a first portion of the first channel is defined by the exterior surface of the shaft body, and wherein a second portion of the first channel is defined by an interior surface of the sheath,
- wherein a first portion of the second channel is defined by the exterior surface of the shaft body, and wherein a second portion of the second channel is defined by the interior surface of the sheath, and
- wherein the needle lumen is positioned between the first channel and the second channel;
- a needle having a delivery lumen, the needle being movably positioned within the needle lumen, and movable between a delivery configuration in which a distal tip of the needle is housed within the needle lumen, and a treatment configuration in which the distal tip of the needle extends radially outwardly from the shaft;
- and
- a vapor generator in fluid communication with the delivery lumen.
