A medical device that includes an expandable member, a fluid lumen, and a heating element. The expandable member has an inner expandable member and an outer expandable member. The fluid lumen is between the inner expandable member and the outer expandable member. The heating element is located inside of the fluid lumen.

Resistive heat ablation for treatment of the anatomy

A surgical device comprising: (a) a stylet comprising: one or more support rods; (b) a hand piece comprising: one or more housing structures defining a cavity; and one or more actuating mechanisms comprising: one or more levers attached to one or more pivot axes in the hand piece and configured to form one or more slidable joints in communication with the one or more support rods; wherein the one or more levers are configured to be assembled by: being placed into the hand piece along the assembly direction before the stylet so the stylet may be placed into the hand piece over the one or more levers; or being placed into the hand piece along the assembly direction after the stylet so the one or more levers is placed into the hand piece over the stylet and in communication with the stylet.

Forceps with a rotation assembly

A forceps comprising: (a) a stylet having a hollow tube having a proximal end region and a longitudinal axis; one or more assemblies that are extendable through the hollow tube, the one or more assemblies comprising: one or more support rods and one or more functional attachments; (b) a hand piece comprising: one or more housing structures defining a cavity; one or more actuating mechanisms comprising: a bearing fitting; a shuttle in communication with the bearing fitting constrained by a plurality of guide ridges; a socket housed by the shuttle; and one or more levers in communication with stylet so that movement of the one or more levers causes movement of the hollow tube and movement of the one or more assemblies; and wherein the movement of the hollow tube and the movement of the one or more assemblies are relative to each other.

A forceps comprising: (a) a stylet comprising; (i) a hollow tube having a longitudinal axis; (ii) assemblies, that are extendable through the hollow tube, comprising; (1) support rods; (2) functional attachments at the end of the support rods; (b) a hand piece comprising; (i) housing structures defining a cavity that houses the stylet; (ii) actuating mechanisms, in communication with the stylet, comprising; (1) a bearing fitting located on the stylet; (2) a shuttle in communication with the bearing fitting, and constrained by a plurality of guide ridges so that the shuttle is movable along a longitudinal axis and restricted from rotational movement around the longitudinal axis; (3) a socket housed by the shuttle, the socket receiving the bearing fitting and being rotatable relative to the shuttle; and (4) levers in communication with the stylet that causes movement of the hollow tube and the assemblies are relative to each other.
