A cautery device for biological tissue, includes: a probe including a head unit that is configured to be inserted into a living body to emit light to cauterize the biological tissue, the head unit including a first fixing member, a second fixing member, and an exit hole, the exit hole being located between the first fixing member and the second fixing member, the exit hole allowing the light to be emitted therethrough; and an elongated catheter configured to sandwich the biological tissue between the probe and the catheter, to thereby support the biological tissue, the catheter including a third fixing member configured to fix the first fixing member and a fourth fixing member configured to fix the second fixing member.

The invention provides a tip that permits therapeutic electromagnetic energy systems to deliver multiple beams of overlapping, partially overlapping, and non-overlapping electromagnetic energy in the treatment of tissue disorders and conditions. The tip finds use with laser systems, intense pulsed light systems, LED systems, radiofrequency systems, and microwave systems.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for monitoring a condition associated with a medium proximate a target region. The system comprising a surgical laser, a surgical fiber coupled to the surgical laser for delivering laser light to a target region and receiving at least a portion of the laser light reflected from the target region. The system further comprising a processor configured to analyze the collected reflected laser light and determine, based at least in part on the analysis of the reflected laser light a value of a parameter associated with the medium proximate the target region.

A surgical system includes an end effector assembly having first and second jaw members, a generator, and one or more machine learning applications. The first and/or second jaw member is movable relative to the other from a spaced-apart position to an approximated position for grasping tissue therebetween. The jaw members are configured to conduct energy therebetween and through tissue grasped therebetween. The generator includes an energy output configured to supply energy to the jaw members, a main controller configured to control the energy output, and sensor circuitry configured to sense impedance and/or power. The machine learning application(s) is configured to determine a type of tissue grasped between the first and second jaw members based upon the impedance and/or power sensed by the sensor circuitry.

A system for recording or recalling ablation information includes a workstation, and control circuitry. The workstation may include a display, a user input device, and a memory. The workstation may be configured to be in electrical communication with an ablation device. The control circuitry may be in electrical communication with the ablation device and the memory. The control circuitry may be configured to receive input associated with an ablation procedure performed by the ablation device, and associate the input with an anatomical structure of the patient.

A vapor delivery system and method is provided that is adapted for treating prostate tissue. The vapor delivery system includes a vapor delivery needle configured to deliver condensable vapor energy to tissue. In one method, the vapor delivery system is advanced transurethrally into the patient to access the prostate tissue. The vapor delivery system includes a generator unit and an inductive heating system to produce a high quality vapor for delivery to tissue. Methods of use are also provided.

In one embodiment, a personal care implement is disclosed. The personal care implement has an emitting end and an electromagnetic source for projecting electromagnetic radiation onto an area of skin to treat a skin condition. A light sensor is configured to sense an amount of ambient light present at the emitting end. A controller instructs the electromagnetic source to begin projecting only when the light sensor senses that the amount of ambient light at the emitting end is below a predefined threshold.

A body orifice remodeling device includes a cylindrical handpiece having a defined length which is adapted to be inserted into the body orifice and an elongated monopolar electrode mounted outside on the circumference of the cylindrical handpiece and extending substantially along the length of the handpiece. A source of radio frequency (RF) energy in the handpiece is configured to generate RF energy to the elongated monopolar electrode; and a source of electromagnetic stimulation energy (EMagS) in the handpiece is configured to generate (EMagS) energy.

A fluid stream is directed toward tissue to generate a plurality of shedding clouds. The fluid stream can be scanned such that the plurality of shedding clouds arrive a different overlapping locations. Each of the plurality of shedding clouds can remove a portion of the tissue. In many embodiments, an apparatus to ablate tissue comprises a source of pressurized fluid, and a nozzle coupled to the source of pressurized fluid to release a fluid stream, in which the fluid stream generates a plurality of shedding clouds.

An implantable electrode catheter device comprising an inner electrode catheter and an outer electrode catheter. The outer electrode catheter including a catheter shaft having at least one electrode at a distal end and a lumen to receive the inner electrode catheter therein. The outer electrode is adjustable or movable relative to the inner electrode catheter in an axial direction. The inner electrode catheter has a fixation element disposed at a distal end. The inner electrode catheter together with the fixation element forms an indifferent electrode whereby radio frequency catheter ablation occurs between the electrode and the indifferent electrode.
