The treatment probe may include a curved, rounded disposable treatment tip that may be designed to accommodate vaginal anatomy. An electrode assembly may be coupled to the treatment tip, wherein the electrode coupled to the treatment tip may be configured to transfer radiofrequency energy through vaginal skin surface to the tissue. A temperature measuring feature may include or be coupled to the electrode assembly, wherein the electrode assembly may be configured to regulate and maintain a pre-determined skin temperature. A radiofrequency handle may be configured to connect to a disposable treatment tip. A connector may be configured to connect to the radiofrequency handle to a radiofrequency generator. A protective apparatus may be configured to protect the radiofrequency handle.

Tumor treating fields (TTFields) can be delivered by implanting a plurality of sets of implantable electrode elements within a person's body. Temperature sensors positioned to measure the temperature at the electrode elements are also implanted, along with a circuit that collects temperature measurements from the temperature sensors. In some embodiments, an AC voltage generator configured to apply an AC voltage across the plurality of sets of electrode elements is also implanted within the person's body.

Tumors can be treated with an alternating electric field. The size of cells in the tumor is determined prior to the start of treatment by, for example, biopsy or by inverse electric impedance tomography. A treatment frequency is chosen based on the determined cell size. The cell size can be determined during the course of treatment and the treatment frequency is adjusted to reflect changes in the cell size. A suitable apparatus for this purpose includes a device for measuring the tumor impedance, an AC signal generator with a controllable output frequency, a processor for estimating the size of tumor cells and setting the frequency of the AC signal generator based thereon, and at least one pair of electrodes operatively connected to the AC signal generator such that an alternating electric field is applied to the tumor.

A plasma probe comprises a hose with a conductor arranged therein that supports an electrode at least at its distal end. The electrode is either directly secured on the conductor or the conductor is provided with a plastic sheathing at least at its distal end by means of which the electrode is held. The electrode can be inserted between the conductor and the plastic sheathing and can be clamped in this manner. After first use the plastic sheathing can be fused to the electrode. The conductor is placed with clearance inside a channel or hollow space of electrode, however, whereby also in case of spot-like contact between the conductor and the electrode due to the gap provided between them apart therefrom the heat transmission from the electrode on the conductor is impeded and thereby the heat introduction in the plasma probe is limited.

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 high-frequency energy transfer device includes a signal transfer part for transferring a signal to the skin through an electrode assembly, which comprises electrodes to which signals having at least one frequency according to at least one type are applied, and which function as multiple center shafts having one-side surfaces that cross each other and are to come into contact with the skin to be cared, and dielectric materials disposed at one side and the other side of each of the electrodes; and a housing forming a frame for receiving the signal transfer part.

The device comprises an outer conductor (7) and an inner conductor (9) arranged approximately coaxial with each other. The outer conductor surrounds the inner conductor. The outer conductor (7) and the inner conductor (9) are arranged and configured to generate an electromagnetic field with lines of force extending from a front surface (9A) of the inner conductor (9) to a front surface (7C) of the outer conductor (7). The device further comprises an energy delivery window (13) arranged in front of the outer conductor and the inner conductor.

An apparatus comprising: at least one electrode, having a first potential, arranged to sense a biosignal; a conductive shield provided over the at least one electrode where the conductive shield is configured to be driven to a second potential wherein the second potential is equivalent to the first potential plus a multiple of an inverted common mode voltage; and wherein the conductive shield is coupled to a drain to enable triboelectric charges to be dissipated.

Devices for directing electromagnetic energy to tissue during cosmetic procedures, as well as methods of treatment and methods of device manufacture. An electrode assembly includes a housing, an electrode, and a thermal sensor arranged inside the housing. The electrode, which includes an aperture, is configured to deliver electrical energy to a targeted area of a patient. The thermal sensor is positioned relative to the aperture of the electrode to provide a field of view through the aperture to a surface of the targeted area. The thermal sensor is configured to generate sensor data indicative of a temperature at the surface of the targeted area, and to thereby provide non-contact temperature sensing.
