US Patent:

7524274, Apr 28, 2009

Filed:

Nov 7, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/704161

Inventors:

Timothy J. Patrick - Alpharetta GA, US
James B. Stubbs - Alpharetta GA, US

Assignee:

Cytyc Corporation - Marlborough MA

International Classification:

A61N 5/00

US Classification:

600 1

Abstract:

A system for treating tissue surrounding a resected cavity that is subject to a proliferative tissue disorder is provided. The system includes a tissue fixation device including a catheter body member having a proximal end, a distal end, an inner lumen, and an expandable surface element disposed proximate to the distal end of the body member, the expandable surface element sized and configured to reproducibly position tissue surrounding a resected tissue cavity in a predetermined geometry upon expansion. After expansion of the expandable surface element within a resected tissue cavity, an external radiation device positioned outside the resected cavity delivers a dose of radiation to the tissue surrounding the expandable surface element.

Assignee:

Cytyc Corporation - Marlborough MA

International Classification:

A61N 5/00

US Classification:

600 2, 600 3

Abstract:

An interstitial brachytherapy apparatus and methods for treating proliferative tissue disorders with radiation and a surface delivered treatment agent. The brachytherapy device includes an insertion member having proximal and distal portions and at least one lumen extending therethrough. An expandable surface member is mated to the distal portion of the insertion member and includes a treatment agent releasably mated thereon. When the brachytherapy device is positioned within a tissue cavity and the expandable surface member is expanded, at least a portion of the treatment agent is delivered to tissue surrounding the tissue cavity.

Appl. No.:

10/995087

Timothy J. Patrick - Alpharetta GA, US
James B. Stubbs - Alpharetta GA, US

Assignee:

Cytyc Corporation - Marboro MA

International Classification:

A61N 5/00

US Classification:

600 8

Abstract:

A brachytherapy applicator for treatment of metastic lesions in a load bearing region is provided. The applicator comprises an elongate tube body having a proximal and a distal end and defining an open internal area. A fixation element located on an outer portion of the tube allows the applicator to be fixed in position in relation to a target region while delivering a dose of therapeutic radiation. The fixation element can fix the applicator to tissue and/or a stabilization element implanted within a patient. A source of radiation positioned within the elongate body, before, during, or after implantation of the applicator, provides the therapeutic radiation.

International Classification:

A61M 37/00

US Classification:

604 83, 604 82, 604 87, 604 89

Abstract:

Systems for injecting fluids and/or other materials into a targeted anatomical location, in particular, an intra-articular space, include a handpiece assembly having a proximal end and a distal end, a needle extending from the distal end of the handpiece assembly, a fluid delivery module comprising a cassette and a fluid transfer device. A conduit is generally configured to place the fluid delivery module in fluid communication with the handpiece assembly. Medications, formulations and/or other fluids or materials contained within vials that are secured to the fluid delivery module can be selectively delivered into an anatomy through a needle located at the distal end of the handpiece assembly. In some embodiments, ultrasound or other imaging technologies can be used to locate a joint or other targeted anatomical location.
