Hemostasis apparatus using liquid jet for tissue removal
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11903606B2) discloses a method for treating tissue using pulsatile shear waves generated by directing a liquid jet towards the tissue. The method involves removing the tissue with these pulsatile shear waves, which are designed to be abrasive to ensure the removal of vessels and non-vascular tissue at similar rates. By positioning the nozzle at a specific distance from the vascular tissue, the method aims to selectively remove non-vascular tissue at different rates while minimizing the removal of vessels.
Furthermore, the patent claims detail the use of shedding pulses to generate the pulsatile shear waves, with each shedding pulse having a characteristic length. The method also involves the use of pump pulses to achieve the desired effect on the tissue. The configuration of jet hydrodynamic parameters, such as fluid jet velocity and shear stress field, plays a crucial role in generating the pulsatile shear waves. These parameters control the frequency and characteristic length of shedding pulses, ultimately influencing the effectiveness of tissue removal.
