Latest Patents
Alison D Wright's latest patents include an ENT instrument with a deformable guide featuring a translatable imaging capability. This apparatus consists of a body, a shaft assembly, and a visualization assembly. The body is equipped with first and second actuators, while the shaft assembly extends distally and includes both a rigid proximal portion and a steerable distal portion. The steerable distal portion is designed to fit within a patient's nasal cavity, allowing for lateral deflection controlled by the first actuator. The visualization assembly, which includes a camera, is capable of longitudinal translation relative to the shaft assembly, driven by the second actuator.
Another significant patent is the ENT ablation instrument with an electrode loop. This apparatus features a shaft assembly and an electrode assembly located at the distal end. The electrode assembly comprises a first conductive segment that applies RF energy to tissue at a first polarity and a second conductive segment that applies RF energy at a second polarity. Together, these segments enable the application of bipolar RF energy to tissue, enhancing the effectiveness of medical procedures.
