System for ablating endometrial lining tissue using radiofrequency power
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11918276B2) discloses a system for ablating endometrial lining tissue using radiofrequency (RF) technology. The system includes an RF applicator, an RF generator, and a controller with a tissue impedance measurement circuit and a power modulation module. The controller is designed to deliver RF power to the tissue in a way that the impedance of the tissue matches a target tissue impedance over time. The RF applicator features an electrode carrier with one or more bipolar electrode pairs for effective tissue ablation.
The system's controller determines the target impedance of the endometrial lining tissue based on a preexisting tissue ablation impedance curve and adjusts the delivery of RF power accordingly. The system is capable of modulating the RF power delivery to the tissue until the impedance reaches a target maximum or a set completion time is achieved. The method involves delivering RF power to the tissue within the uterine cavity and adjusting the power delivery to ensure the impedance tracks the target impedance curve. The system aims to provide a precise and controlled approach to endometrial tissue ablation, enhancing the effectiveness and safety of the procedure.
