发明名称 Methods and systems for detection and thermal treatment of lower urinary tract conditions
摘要 The invention relates generally to systems and methods for detecting and/or treating lower urinary tract conditions. One embodiment of the invention is directed to a medical device. The medical device includes an elongate member having a proximal end and a distal end and an end effector assembly that extends distally from the distal end of the elongate member. The end effector assembly includes a plurality of end effector units. Each end effector unit has a sensing element for detecting a location of abnormal organ function and a treatment element for treating the location of abnormal organ function.

主权项 1. A medical device, comprising: an elongate member having a proximal end and a distal end; an end effector assembly extending distally from the distal end of the elongate member, wherein the end effector assembly includes a plurality of legs extending from a proximal end of the end effector assembly to a distal end of the end effector assembly, wherein each leg of the plurality of legs includes one or more leg lumens, each of the one or more leg lumens terminating in a corresponding leg aperture, wherein the plurality of legs form a sphere; and a plurality of bundles of elements, wherein each bundle of elements includes a sensor element configured to detect a location of abnormal organ function, a fluid conduit, and a plurality of energy transmission elements configured to treat the location of abnormal organ function, wherein each bundle of elements extends through the elongate member and through a leg lumen and terminates in an end effector unit, wherein the end effector unit extends through and is configured to move relative to a leg aperture, wherein each end effector unit has a distal end surface that forms a fluid port and a plurality of apertures configured to receive the sensor element and the plurality of energy transmission elements, wherein the fluid conduit terminates at the fluid port, and wherein the plurality of energy transmission elements are configured to move through the plurality of apertures and relative to the distal end surface of the end effector unit and the fluid port.
