6665 Busch Blvd, Columbus, OH 43229 MEDICAL DEVICE OPPORTUNITY I have created an improved method for ablation therapy.! This device is applicable to all procedures that use thermal ablation in a medical procedure.! There are ve procedures that involve insertion of a device into the body without an incision.! Additional procedures using ablation are done requiring surgical incisions.! I will initially focus on Endometrial ablation and Barrett's Esophagus
Endometrial Ablation Endometrial ablation is a medical procedure that is used to remove (ablate) or destroy the endometrial lining of a woman's uterus. This technique is most often employed for women who suffer from excessive or prolonged bleeding during their menstrual cycle but can not or do not wish to undergo a hysterectomy. The procedure is most commonly done on an outpatient basis. Uterine ablation is contraindicated in patients who may want to get pregnant. A number of competing procedures are available. The HTA System uses a small telescope-like device called a hysteroscope which is inserted into the uterus through the cervix, to help doctors safely conrm proper probe placement and to see the area they are treating. This device circulates heated saline which burns the lining of the uterus. This procedure will stop, or signicantly decrease, menstrual bleeding. 68% of patients who have undergone this procedure reported a satisfactory decrease in menstrual ow.
Barrett's esophagus is marked by the presence of columnar epithelia in the lower esophagus, replacing the normal squamous cell epithelium. These columnar cells increase the risk of adenocarcinoma. Ablation of the columnar epithelia has recently been proven effective treatment for Barretts esophagus based upon research completed Summer 2009 at the Mayo Clinic.
Short segment Barrett's esophagus Short segment Barrett's esophagus The short segment of
Barrett's esophagus is seen here as a strip or "tongue" of red lining surrounded by normal pinkish-white squamous lining. There is a small island of Barrett's esophagus, surrounded by normal squamous lining, next to the tongue of Barrett's esophagus.
The squamocolumnar junction, where the Barrett's esophagus joins the normal squamous esophagus, is a great distance from the bottom of the esophagus due to the long segment of Barrett's esophagus.
