A system, ablation probe, and method is provided for treating tissue, e.g., tissue having tumors. The treatment system is configured to automatically deliver infusaid to tissue when needed and comprises an ablation probe having an ablative element and at least one perfusion exit port. The system further comprises an ablation source operably coupled to the ablative element, and a pump assembly operably coupled to the perfusion exit port(s). The pump assembly is configured for pumping infusaid out through the perfusion exit port(s), preferably during the ablation process. The system further comprises a feedback device configured for controlling the amount of infusaid displaced by the pump assembly based on a sensed tissue parameter, e.g., tissue temperature or tissue impedance.

Skin treatment apparatus comprising an energy applicator structure configured to establish heating or ablation at a predetermined and controllable (i.e. selectable) depth below a surface of skin tissue with which it is in contact. The applicator structure may receive a cooling medium and microwave frequency electromagnetic energy, which provide a combined treatment effect that results in heating or ablation in a zone beneath the skin surface. The applicator may be a waveguide (e.g. waveguide horn antenna) with internal shielding configured to provide a substantially uniform heating effect. The applicator may include a thermal camera to monitor treatment.

An antenna system for tissue ablation includes an energy transmission member, a conductive hollow coil member, and a fluid cooling system. The energy transmission member has an inner conductor, an outer conductor, and a dielectric layer between the inner and outer conductors. A portion of the dielectric layer extends distally of a distal end of the outer conductor. The conductive hollow coil member includes a member lumen within a length of the conductive hollow coil member. The conductive hollow coil member is coiled around the portion of the dielectric layer and is separate from the inner conductor. The conductive hollow coil member extends along an entire length of the outer conductor of the energy transmission member. The fluid cooling system is coupled to the conductive hollow coil member for providing a flow of a cooling fluid through the member lumen for cooling the conductive hollow coil member.

Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods that may include a microwave ablation probe. The microwave ablation probe may include a feedline having an inner conductor, an outer conductor and a dielectric; and an antenna including a helical arm, the helical arm being electrically connected to the outer conductor of the feedline at a junction point, and a linear arm, the linear arm being electrically connected to the inner conductor of the feedline.

The present invention discloses a cryoablation catheter, including: a main tube having a distal end, a proximal end, and at least one lumen; an expansion element, with which the distal end of the main tube is sleeved; a fluid delivery tube extending into an expansion element through the lumen of the main tube, an opening being provided at a distal end of the fluid delivery tube, and a cryogenic fluid being ejected out through the opening; a fluid recovery passage extending into the expansion element through the lumen of the main tube, a distal end of the fluid recovery passage being communicated with a recovery hole at the distal end of the main tube, and the cryogenic fluid flowing into the fluid recovery passage through the recovery hole; wherein the opening is linearly disposed in a length direction of the distal end of the main tube. With the cryoablation catheter according to the present invention, an ablation line may be formed on tissue to be ablated, and through single entirely-lined ablation or a few times of entirely lined continuous ablation, the one-time success rate of ablation is close to the success rate of a surgery.

A surgical tool according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a proximal end; and a distal end, the distal end including a first electrode; a second electrode different from the first electrode; and a thermal bridge that is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode and that electrically isolates the first electrode from the second electrode.

A probe and method of using a probe are disclosed. The probe may comprise a first member, a tip, a second member, and a third member. The first member may have a first and second end portions. The tip may be configured to engaged to the first member at the second end portion. The second member may be configured to extend and be positioned within the first member. The third member may be configured to be disposed outward of the second member along at least a portion of the second member, engage an inner surface of the first member, and define to least one passage between the third member and the first member. The probe may be coupled to a fluid supply and return, and fluid may flow within the probe, including within the passage defined between the first and third members.

Methods for detecting tubing in a pump assembly of a pump system are provided. For example, a method comprises connecting a power supply to each of a plurality of pump motors of the pump system. Each pump motor of the plurality of pump motors has a power supply cable configured to connect to the power supply and drives a pump head of a plurality of pump heads of the pump system. The method also comprises sensing a motor current from each of the power supply cables, determining whether tubing is loaded in each pump head, and, if tubing is not loaded in a pump head, then disconnecting from the power supply the power supply cable of the pump motor associated with the pump head in which tubing is not loaded. Systems for detecting the presence of tubing within a pump head of a plurality of pump heads also are provided.
