Title:
METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING MEDICAL PROCEDURES USING RADIOFREQUENCY ENERGY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/054623
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An apparatus (12) for performing a medical procedure including an electrosurgical unit (10) and an assembly including an elongated flexible conductive element (3), an interventional wire (2), a coupler (11 ), and an activator unit (7). The electrosurgical unit (10) is configured to generate radiofrequency energy. The elongated flexible conductive element (3) includes a proximal end (14) connected to the electrosurgical unit (10), and a distal end (15). The interventional wire (2) is configured to deliver radiofrequency energy. The coupler (11 ) electrically couples the elongated flexible conductive element (3) to the interventional wire (2). The activator unit (7) is electrically coupled to the elongated flexible conductive element (3) and is configured to selectively activate the delivery of radiofrequency energy from the electrosurgical unit (10) to the interventional wire (2).
