Title:
A LESION TREATMENT DEVICE AND METHODS FOR TREATING LESIONS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/084227
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
A device and methods for applying treatment to a flow obstruction are provided herein. The device has a treatment layer with operable elements. The operable elements are mechanically activated upon bending of the flexible layer beyond a specified curvature threshold due to contact of the treatment layer with the obstruction. Positioning the device onto the lesion activates the operable elements by the sheer mechanical bending of the device, which causes e.g. opening of holes toward the lesion, perforation of the lesion, focusing of energy onto the lesion etc. The activation of the operable elements applies the treatment to the obstruction, and as the lesion is removed, the bending of the device decreases until the application of the treatment is mechanically stopped by the resulting de-activation of the operable elements.
