A device for providing a magnetic treatment by evoking muscle contraction by a time-varying magnetic field and providing a RF treatment by heating biological structure. The device may provide a pressure treatment. The device includes an applicator having an RF electrode and a magnetic field generating device. The device may also include a main unit, a human machine interface, and a control unit. The control unit adjusts a signal provided to the RF electrode and creates an RF circuit, and also adjusts the signal provided to the magnetic field generating device and creates a magnetic circuit electrically insulated from the RF circuit. The RF circuit may include a power source and a power amplifier, and the magnetic circuit may include an energy storage to supply the magnetic field generating device with electric current.

The invention relates to a determination apparatus for determining a virtual position of a virtual guidance device (119) like a virtual transperineal grid template for guiding a virtual ablation applicator (112) like a virtual ablation needle. A model is trained based on training data sets including real positions of real guidance devices used for guiding real ablation applicators during real ablation procedures and images of ablation targets and/or parameters extracted from the images. The parameters are, for instance, spatial parameters like the center of the respective ablation target. The model then is used for determining the virtual position of the virtual guidance device based on an image of the ablation target, which might be a pre-operative CT or MR image, and the model. This allows to provide a virtual position, which really is achievable by a real guidance device, wherein this allows for an improved ablation planning.

An elongate electrode is supported between two arms and configured to flex and generate plasma to incise tissue. Each of the arms is configured to penetrate tissue with the electrode supported therebetween to form a pocket with an incision. Each arm may comprise a distal tip shaped to penetrate tissue, and an internal curved structure such as a track is shaped to allow the electrode to slide over the curved structure while the electrode is tensioned. The internal curved structure may comprise an electrically insulating material that provides electrical insulation to the tensioned sliding electrode. An opening formed in a lumen allows the electrode to extended between the curved structure and the exposed portion of the electrode suspended between the two arms. The separation distance between the two arms can be adjusted to vary an exposed length of the electrode to create a pocket incision of varying width.

A surgical system includes a surgical generator and at least one energy delivery device. The surgical generator includes at least one energy output stage configured to deliver energy, a controller configured to control the energy output, and sensor circuitry. The energy delivery device(s) is coupled to the surgical generator, configured for insertion into a synovial joint, and configured to supply energy through synovial fluid in the synovial joint. In a sensing mode, the sensor circuitry is configured to sense at least one electrical parameter of the energy and the controller is configured to determine a parameter of the synovial fluid based thereon. The controller is further configured, in a treatment mode, to control the energy based upon the at least one determined parameter of the synovial fluid to treat tissue of the synovial joint.
