Adjustable clamp systems and methods

摘要

Tissue treatment systems include an actuator handle assembly coupled with a clamp assembly having a first jaw mechanism and a second jaw mechanism. A first jaw mechanism includes a first flexible boot, a first flexible ablation member coupled with the first flexible boot, and a first rotatable jawbone disposed within the first flexible boot. A second jaw mechanism comprises a second flexible boot, a second flexible ablation member coupled with the second flexible boot, and a second rotatable jawbone disposed within the second flexible boot.

1. A treatment system for forming a lesion on a tissue of a patient, comprising:
an actuator handle assembly; and a clamp assembly coupled with the actuator handle assembly, the clamp assembly having a first jaw mechanism and a second jaw mechanism, wherein the first jaw mechanism comprises a first rotatable guide, and a first flexible ablation member in operative association with the first rotatable guide, wherein the second jaw mechanism comprises a second rotatable guide, and a second flexible ablation member in operative association with the second rotatable guide, wherein the first jaw mechanism comprises a first flexible boot, the first flexible ablation member is coupled with the first flexible boot, and the first rotatable guide is disposed at least partially within the first flexible boot, wherein the second jaw mechanism comprises a second flexible boot, the second flexible ablation member is coupled with the second flexible boot, and the second rotatable guide is disposed at least partially within the second flexible boot, and wherein the first and second flexible boots are configured such that the first and second ablation members face toward each other upon rotation of the first rotatable guide, upon rotation of the second rotatable guide, or upon rotation of both the first rotatable guide and the second rotatable guide.
