Cryosurgical Probe with Enhanced Thermal Performance - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240016532 titled 'Cryosurgical Probe with Enhanced Thermal Performance

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a probe and its method of use. The probe consists of a first member, a tip, a second member, and a third member. The first member has two end portions. The tip is engaged to the second end portion of the first member. The second member extends and is positioned within the first member. The third member is disposed outward of the second member, engages the inner surface of the first member, and defines at least one passage between the third member and the first member. The probe is coupled to a fluid supply and return, allowing fluid to flow within the probe, including within the passage defined between the first and third members.

  • The probe consists of multiple members, including a tip, that are configured to engage with each other.
  • The third member is positioned outward of the second member and defines a passage with the first member.
  • Fluid can flow within the probe, including within the passage between the first and third members.
  • The probe can be coupled to a fluid supply and return system.

Potential Applications:

  • Medical procedures: The probe could be used in medical procedures to deliver fluids or medications to specific areas.
  • Industrial processes: The probe could be used in industrial processes that require precise fluid delivery or sampling.

Problems Solved:

  • Precise fluid delivery: The probe allows for controlled and targeted fluid delivery, solving the problem of inaccurate or inefficient delivery methods.
  • Fluid sampling: The probe enables the collection of fluid samples from specific areas, addressing the challenge of obtaining representative samples.

Benefits:

  • Improved accuracy: The probe's design ensures precise fluid delivery or sampling, leading to more accurate results.
  • Versatility: The probe can be used in various applications, making it a versatile tool for different industries.
  • Efficiency: The probe's design allows for efficient fluid flow, reducing waste and optimizing resource utilization.


Original Abstract Submitted

a probe and method of using a probe are disclosed. the probe may comprise a first member, a tip, a second member, and a third member. the first member may have a first and second end portions. the tip may be configured to engaged to the first member at the second end portion. the second member may be configured to extend and be positioned within the first member. the third member may be configured to be disposed outward of the second member along at least a portion of the second member, engage an inner surface of the first member, and define to least one passage between the third member and the first member. the probe may be coupled to a fluid supply and return, and fluid may flow within the probe, including within the passage defined between the first and third members.
