STEAM ABLATION DEVICE FOR TREATMENT OF MENORRHAGIA
20210153921 · 2021-05-27 ·

Disclosed herein is a vapor therapy device for producing intra-uterine tissue effects. The device can include a shaft, including a proximal portion and a distal portion, a fluid-expandable medium, near the distal portion of the shaft, a fluid-delivery conduit, extending between the proximal portion and the distal portion of the shaft, the fluid-delivery conduit comprising an outlet, near the distal portion of the shaft, for delivery of the fluid toward the medium, and an in vivo heat generator, near the distal portion of the shaft, to heat the fluid. A method of treating a patient for menorrhagia with the device can include introducing a medium, in a contracted state, into a patient, delivering a fluid toward the medium to expand the medium in vivo; generating heat in vivo on or near the medium to vaporize the fluid, and exposing a treatment site to the vaporized fluid.

METHODS AND DEVICES FOR TREATING POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE AND ITS SYMPTOMS
20210121218 · 2021-04-29 · ·

Apparatus, systems, and methods for treating PKD by providing access to a patient's renal pelvis of a kidney to treat renal nerves embedded in tissue surrounding the renal pelvis. Access to the renal pelvis may be via the urinary tract or via minimally invasive incisions through the abdomen and kidney tissue. Treatment is effected by exchanging energy, typically delivering heat or extracting heat through a wall of the renal pelvis, or by delivering active substances to ablate a thin layer of tissue lining at least a portion of the renal pelvis to disrupt renal nerves within the tissue lining of the renal pelvis

SYSTEM, DEVICE AND METHOD FOR INTRADERMAL SOLUTION DELIVERY
20210113258 · 2021-04-22 ·

A dermal conditioning device for creating at feast one fissure, in a stratum corneum layer of an area of skirt, comprising: a non-invasive fissuring generator; a controller coupled to the non-invasive skin fissuring generator, a power supply coupled to the non-invasive skin fissuring generator and the controller; and a housing encasing the non-invasive skin fissuring generator and the controller, wherein the controller controls the non-invasive skin fissuring generator to: generate at least one signal, and apply the at least one signal to dehydrate the area of skin, and stress the external surface of the stratum corneum layer of the area of skin, the stress calibrated to produce a strain on the stratum corneum layer causing a formation of at least one fissure in the stratum corneum layer when the area of skin is dehydrated, while maintaining a pre-fissure immune status of the area of skin.
