An improved gastric tube for displacing a section of an esophagus during cardiac ablation procedures is disclosed. The improved gastric tube is an elongated flexible tube designed to be inserted in the esophagus of a patient and extended past the portion of the esophagus which overlies the heart. The improved gastric tube includes a first lumen extending the length of the tube which receives a control wire, plastic stylet, or other apparatus which would function for displacement of the portion of the esophagus overlying the heart. A second lumen is included which extends to the operative section of the gastric tube, where the esophagus overlies the heart, so that contrast liquid or cooling liquid can be injected into the esophagus at that location. A temperature sensor can also be included to measure the temperature of the esophageal wall, as well as electrodes to connect to a three-dimensional mapping system.

Gastric tube for ablation procedures

The present invention provides a device and method for displacing a lumen within a patient in-vivo during a surgical procedure. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to displacement control wires used in a heart ablation procedure for biasing a patient body portion, e.g., a wall of an esophagus away from or closer to the heart to prevent damage to the esophagus as a result of the heart ablation. The control wire is constructed from a shape memory material such as nitinol. The nitinol material is constructed and arranged to be substantially straight when cooled for insertion. Thereafter, when inserted into the body, the nitinol material takes on a curved orientation (preformed) as it is heated to body temperature. Rotation of the control wire allows the esophagus to be displaced as desired for the procedure.

A relocation system for influencing an anatomical structure in relation to an internal surgical site. The system is composed of an elongated member constructed and arranged for insertion into a patient. The elongated member is composed of a plurality of segments interconnected by a plurality of control lines. The plurality of segments having one or more straight segments, one or more deflection segments, which are used to shape and steer the elongated member upon manipulation of at least one of the control lines. This causes the elongated member to deform into any desired shape capable of influencing the anatomical structure.

An ultra-high efficiency underwater light for attracting marine life having radially arranged facets supporting light emitting diodes (LEDs) that project a large perimeter of light underwater. A water cooling system allows the high powered LEDs to operate at sustained peak levels without sacrificing service life. A light bifurcating structure causes a central portion of water to illuminate in a different color than the color of the outer perimeter portion of water. A tire valve stem located on the underwater light is used to remove moisture bearing air and to also pressurize the light with a non-corrosive gas. Antifouling circuitry automatically cycles the underwater light on and off multiple times during periods of non-use. Smart circuitry communicates through a series of blinks and accepts commands from a user through a power cord.
