Title:
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INTERSTITIAL TISSUE REMOVAL
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2011172949
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide apparatuses and methods for removing solid tissue from beneath a tissue surface.
The methods rely on positioning an energy conductive element at a target site beneath the tissue surface and energizing the element so that it can vaporize tissue. The element 18 is then moved in a pattern which provides the desired tissue removal geometry, such as spherical, ovoid, or cylindrical. Usually, a shaft 12 is moved, typically rotated or reciprocated, and the energy conductive element 18 is moved relative to the shaft 12, typically by pivoting a rigid element or bowing a flexible element.
