Apparatus and methods for facilitating treatment of tissue via improved delivery of energy based and non-energy based modalities

摘要

A tunable ablation delivery device is disclosed. The tunable ablation delivery device includes a housing and a detection element on the housing for detecting a physiological indication. The tunable ablation delivery device further includes an ablation element disposed within the housing. An opening in the housing is positioned relative to the ablation element to facilitate a treatment using the ablation element modality.

主权项

1. An ablation energy delivery device, comprising:
an endoscope body; a transmission window configured to transmit ablation energy, the transmission window being movably mounted to the endoscope body; a detection element configured to detect a physiological indication; and an ablation element configured to emit ablation energy, the ablation element disposed to transmit emitted ablation energy through the transmission window, wherein the transmission window movably mounted to the endoscope body is selectively positionable relative to the endoscope body and to the ablation element to direct ablation energy emitted from the ablation element through the transmission window to a desired location for treatment using the ablation energy, wherein the transmission window is disposed in a housing, the housing being made of a material configured to transmit less ablation energy than the transmission window.
