VAPOR ABLATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS

A vapor delivery needle is provided that may include any of a number of features. One feature of the energy delivery probe is that it can apply condensable vapor energy to tissue, such as a prostrate,to shrink, damage, denaturate the prostate. In some embodiments, the vapor delivery needle can be ad...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A vapor delivery needle is provided that may include any of a number of features. One feature of the energy delivery probe is that it can apply condensable vapor energy to tissue, such as a prostrate,to shrink, damage, denaturate the prostate. In some embodiments, the vapor delivery needle can be advanced a predetermined distance into the prostate with a solenoid actuation mechanism. Methods associated with use of the energy delivery probe are also covered. 本发明提供了种蒸气输送针，其可包括多个特征中的任何特征。该能量输送探针的个特征在于，它可以向诸如前列腺的组织施加可冷凝的蒸气能量，以使前列腺收缩、损坏、变形。在些实施例中，该蒸气输送针可以利用螺线管致动机构向前列腺中前移预定距离。本发明还涵盖与该能量输送探针的使用相关的方法。
