SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THERAPY OF PELVIC CONDITIONS

Abstract:

A treatment device for treatment of overactive bladder conditions operates to suction to grasp and conform a mucosal tissue of the bladder wall to a portion of the tissue treatment device, and deliver energy to non-superficial target tissue at a substantially uniform depth from the mucosal tissue. The tissue treatment device incorporates multiple instruments for different functions needed to treat overactive bladder conditions. The tissue treatment device provides simplified interfaces and mechanisms for operating each of the multiple instruments in a controlled manner. Further, the tissue treatment device is configured to have a low and smooth profile that permits the tissue treatment device to be used without a tubular sheath.
