CONDUCTOR CATHETER FOR LASER ADENOTOMY WITH TRANSORAL ACCESS, SET OF CONDUCTOR CATHETERS AND METHOD FOR LASER ADENOTOMY WITH TRANSORAL ACCESS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A61M25/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: conductor catheter for laser adenotomy by transoral access is made in the form of a rubber tube with Shore A-120 hardness, which is curved along the anatomical structure of the nasopharynx and has a straight working end of 10-40 mm, oriented at an angle of 85-145° to its longitudinal axis. The end part of the working end is designed to guide and position the surgical laser light guide at the pole of the nasopharyngeal tonsil. A set of conductor catheters for laser adenotomy by transoral access, containing three catheter-conductors intended for the lower, middle or upper poles of the nasopharyngeal tonsil, is developed. The method for laser adenotomy by transoral access involves laser vaporization of adenoid vegetations, with lymphoid tissue being removed from the bottom up using a set of developed conductor catheters.

EFFECT: possibility of laser radiation delivery to the nasopharyngeal tonsil by a transoral route, laser vaporization of the adenoid tissue from hard-to-reach areas.
