Apparatus For R-F Ablation

View page
US Patent:
6356790, Mar 12, 2002
Filed:
Jul 26, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/361444
Inventors:
Mark A. Maguire - San Jose CA
Kevin C. Ladd - Redwood City CA
John W. Gaiser - Mt. View CA
Le T. Le - San Jose CA
Assignee:
Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
A61N 106
US Classification:
607102, 607101, 607113, 607 99, 606 41, 600374
Abstract:
An improved system and method for ablating a tissue site is provided. In one embodiment, the system comprises an ablation catheter employing one or more electrodes and multiple temperature sensors located along the catheter distal end. The temperature sensors control the power applied to the one or more electrodes. A deflection mechanism may be included to provide directional control to the catheter.

Method For Treating Intervertebral Discs

View page
US Patent:
6547810, Apr 15, 2003
Filed:
Nov 6, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/707627
Inventors:
Hugh R. Sharkey - Woodside CA
John Ashley - San Francisco CA
Joel Saal - Portola Valley CA
Jeffrey A. Saal - Portola Valley CA
Le Trong Le - San Jose CA
Assignee:
Oratec Interventions, Inc. - Menlo Park CA
International Classification:
A61F 700
US Classification:
607 96, 607 99, 607113, 607116, 606 27, 128898
Abstract:
A percutaneous method of repairing a fissure in the annulus pulposus comprises placing an energy source adjacent to the fissure and providing sufficient energy to the fissure to raise the temperature to at least about 45-70Â C. and for a sufficient time to cause the collagen to weld. An intervertebral fissure also can be treated by placing a catheter with a lumen adjacent to the fissure and injecting sealant into the fissure via the catheter, thereby sealing the fissure. An intervertebral fissure additionally can be treated by providing a catheter having a distal end, a proximal end, a longitudinal axis, and an intradiscal section at the catheters distal end on which there is at least one functional element. The next step is applying a force longitudinally to the proximal of the catheter which is sufficient to advance the intradiscal section through the nucleus pulposus and around an inner wall of an annulus fibrosus, but which force is insufficient to puncture the annulus fibrosus. Next the functional element is positioned at a selected location of the disc by advancing or retracting the catheter and optionally twisting the proximal end of the catheter.

Kevin To - Campbell CA
Le T. Le - San Jose CA
Andy Uchida - Mountain View CA
Hugh Sharkey - Menlo Park CA
John Ashley - San Francisco CA
Assignee:
Oratec Interventions, Inc. - Menlo Park CA
International Classification:
H61B 1818
US Classification:
606 50, 606 14, 606 33
Abstract:
An intervertebral disc device is provided comprising a probe capable of being extended from a distal end of an introducer that is percutaneously delivered into an interior of an intervertebral disc, the probe forming a loop when extended from the distal end of the introducer, the loop having first and second proximal ends external to the introducer which are brought together adjacent the introducer distal end to form the loop by the proximal ends being either attached to or entering the distal end of the introducer; and a proximal handle for externally causing the probe to be extended from the distal end of the introducer and externally guiding the probe within an intervertebral disc.

US Patent:
6997941, Feb 14, 2006

Mar 17, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/388609
Inventors:
Hugh R. Sharkey - Woodside CA, US
John Ashley - San Francisco CA, US
Joel Saal - Portola Valley CA, US
Jeffrey A. Saal - Portola Valley CA, US
Le Trong Le - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Oratec Interventions, Inc. - Menlo Park CA
International Classification:
A61F 7/00
US Classification:
607 96, 607 99, 607113, 607116, 606 48, 606 50
Abstract:
A device is described that may be positioned at a location in an intervertebral disc for diagnosis or treatment of the disc. Treatment may include, for example, applying energy or removing material, and may decrease intradiscal pressure. Radiofrequency energy may be applied. A percutaneous method of repairing a fissure in the annulus pulposus comprises placing an energy source adjacent to the fissure and providing sufficient energy to the fissure to raise the temperature to at least about 45-70 C. and for a sufficient time to cause the collagen to weld. An intervertebral fissure also can be treated by placing a catheter with a lumen adjacent to the fissure and injecting sealant into the fissure via the catheter, thereby sealing the fissure. An intervertebral fissure additionally can be treated by providing a catheter having a distal end, a proximal end, a longitudinal axis, and an intradiscal section at the catheter's distal end on which there is at least one functional element. The next step is applying a force longitudinally to the proximal of the catheter which is sufficient to advance the intradiscal section through the nucleus pulposus and around an inner wall of an annulus fibrosus, but which force is insufficient to puncture the annulus fibrosus.

US Patent:
7400930, Jul 15, 2008
Filed:
Nov 14, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/712006
Inventors:
Hugh R. Sharkey - Woodside CA, US
John Ashley - San Francisco CA, US
Joel Saal - Portola Valley CA, US
Jeffrey A. Saal - Portola Valley CA, US
Le Trong Le - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Oratec Interventions, Inc. - Menlo Park CA
International Classification:
A61N 1/06
US Classification:
607117, 607101, 607154
Abstract:
A method of manipulating a disc tissue of an intervertebral disc is described, the disc has a nucleus pulposus, an annulus fibrosus, and an inner wall of the annulus fibrosus. The method includes providing a catheter having a radiofrequency electrode at a distal region of the catheter and a proximal region for externally guiding the distal region of the catheter within an intervertebral disc. The method also includes positioning the electrode at the inner wall of the annulus fibrosus by applying a sufficient force to advance the catheter through the nucleus pulposus to the inner wall of the annulus fibrosus. The force is insufficient to puncture the annulus fibrosus. The method further includes delivering energy to the disc tissue using the electrode.

US Patent:
7647123, Jan 12, 2010
Filed:
Oct 31, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/930813
Inventors:
Hugh R. Sharkey - Woodside CA, US
John Ashley - San Francisco CA, US
Joel Saal - Portola Valley CA, US
Jeffrey A. Saal - Portola Valley CA, US
Le T. Le - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Oratec Interventions, Inc. - Menlo Park CA
International Classification:
A61N 1/06
US Classification:
607117, 607101, 607154
Abstract:
An interverterbral fissure can be treated by providing a catheter having a distal end, a proximal end, a longitudinal axis, and an intradiscal section at the catheter's distal end on which there is at least one functional element. The next step is applying a force longitudinally to the proximal of the catheter which is sufficient to advance the intradiscal section through the nucleus pulposus and around an inner wall of an annulus fibrosus, but which force is insufficient to puncture the annulus fibrosus. Next the functional element is positioned at a selected location of the disc by advancing or retracting the catheter and optionally twisting the proximal end of the catheter. Then the functional unit treats the annular fissure. Optionally, there is an additional step of adding a substance to seal the fissure.

US Patent:
8128619, Mar 6, 2012
Filed:
Oct 30, 2007
Appl. No.:

Inventors:
Hugh R. Sharkey - Woodside CA, US
John Ashley - San Francisco CA, US
Joel Saal - Portola Valley CA, US
Jeffrey A. Saal - Portola Valley CA, US
Le Trong Le - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Neurotherm, Inc. - Wilmington MA
International Classification:
A61B 18/14
US Classification:
606 41, 607 96, 607117
Abstract:
A method of treating an intervertebral disc includes inserting an introducer into an intervertebral disc, inserting a catheter through the introducer and into the intervertebral disc, advancing a distal region of the catheter through a nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc to an annular wall of an annulus fibrosus, delivering energy to material of the intervertebral disc using an electrode disposed at the distal region of the catheter, and removing the material with the delivered energy, wherein removing material with the delivered energy reduces pressure in the intervertebral disc.
