Cryoablation device with coaxial catheter and movable probe
The granted patent US12042203B2 describes a cryoablation device designed for medical applications, featuring a catheter shaft that houses both a cryogen return line and a cryogen supply line, arranged in a coaxial configuration. At the distal end of the cryogen return line is a needle tip probe, which extends further with the cryogen supply line. The device incorporates an insulating tube and an insulating lumen to enhance thermal insulation, ensuring that the cryogen's cooling effect is effectively directed to the treatment site. The design allows for the needle tip probe and cryogen return line to move axially and rotationally relative to the fixed insulating tube, facilitating precise positioning during procedures. Additionally, the device includes a heating element embedded within the catheter shaft, which can be utilized to control the temperature during ablation.
Further claims detail various features of the cryoablation device, including the potential for an accessory injection tube that runs parallel to the cryogen return line, allowing for the delivery of treatment agents or the removal of tissue or fluids from the treatment site. The device's handle is designed to enable simultaneous translational and rotational movement of the return line, enhancing the operator's control over the needle tip probe. The claims also specify the use of different materials and configurations for the insulating lumen, as well as the inclusion of thermal elements within the needle tip probe. Overall, the patent outlines a sophisticated cryoablation device that combines multiple functionalities to improve the efficacy and safety of cryogenic treatments in medical settings.
