Title: Biography of Troy J Chapman
Introduction: Troy J Chapman is an accomplished inventor based in Cupertino, California. He has made significant contributions to the field of medical technology, particularly in the area of cardiac procedures. With a total of five patents to his name, Chapman has developed innovative solutions that enhance the effectiveness of heart treatments.
Latest Patents: Among his latest patents is the "Apparatus and method for linear lesion ablation." This invention provides an apparatus for ablating body tissue, specifically for creating linear lesions within a patient's heart. The device features an elongate member with an ablation section that includes an infusion tube and multiple spaced electrodes. The infusion tube and electrodes are encased in a fluid-permeable foam material, which is further covered by a fluid-impermeable covering with holes. This design allows for the effective delivery of radiofrequency energy to the electrodes while simultaneously infusing a conductive fluid to facilitate the ablation process. Another notable patent is the "Telescoping apparatus and method for linear lesion ablation," which describes a catheter device designed for creating linear lesions in endocardial tissue. This catheter includes an inner shaft that is telescopically received within an outer shaft, allowing for precise positioning of electrodes and improved efficiency in tissue ablation.
Career Highlights: Troy J Chapman is currently employed at Cardiac Pathways Corporation, where he continues to innovate in the field of cardiac technology.
