Adjustable clamp systems and methods
View Patent ↗Tissue treatment systems include an actuator handle assembly coupled with a clamp assembly having a first jaw mechanism and a second jaw mechanism. A first jaw mechanism includes a first flexible boot, a first flexible ablation member coupled with the first flexible boot, and a first rotatable jawbone disposed within the first flexible boot. A second jaw mechanism comprises a second flexible boot, a second flexible ablation member coupled with the second flexible boot, and a second rotatable jawbone disposed within the second flexible boot.
1. A treatment system for forming a lesion on a tissue of a patient, comprising:
an actuator handle assembly;
a clamp assembly having a first jaw mechanism and a second jaw mechanism;
a first push and release rotational assembly coupling the actuator handle with the first jaw mechanism; and
a second push and release rotational assembly coupling the actuator handle assembly with the second jaw mechanism,
wherein the first jaw mechanism comprises a first flexible boot, a first flexible ablation member coupled with the first flexible boot, and a first rotatable jawbone disposed within the first flexible boot, and
wherein the second jaw mechanism comprises a second flexible boot, a second flexible ablation member coupled with the second flexible boot, and a second rotatable jawbone disposed within the second flexible boot.
2. The treatment system according to claim 1 , wherein the first push and release rotational assembly comprises a first frame button and a first leaf spring.
3. The treatment system according to claim 2 , wherein the first frame button comprises an engagement button, an upper horizontal arm having an upper tooth, a lower horizontal arm having a lower tooth, and a vertical arm having a vertical tooth.
4. The treatment system according to claim 2 , wherein the leaf spring comprises an engagement tab, and the first push and release rotational assembly further comprises a jawbone base having an engagement aperture that receives the engagement tab.
5. The treatment system according to claim 3 , wherein the first push and release rotational assembly further comprises a jawbone base having a jawbone base tooth that engages at least one of the upper tooth, the lower tooth, or the vertical tooth of the first frame button.
