The optical probe causes lateral dispersion of the radiation from the probe throughout the root canal.

In some forms of the invention, the ultrasonic probe is a wireless ultrasonic probe; amongst other advantages, this enables the probe to be used in situations that were not previously possible.

The probe support also blocks an in-holder probe from sliding away from the probe-enclosing end.

The probe devices (130) include a clamp (156) that can secure a probe at a targeted location.

The invention relates to a sterile protector, which has a catheter with at least one probe lumen (4) and with an associated probe port (5) for insertion of a probe into the probe lumen (4).

The devices can be utilized to guide a probe through the probe guide to a percutaneous target with real time visualization of the probe during the procedure.

In another example, the heating system includes a probe heater configured to heat a probe as part of mechanical testing.

A method for implanting a lead within brain tissue of a patient, wherein the lead comprises a set of radially segmented electrodes on a distal end of the lead is provided.

A balloon (90) mounted on the probe is selectively inflated in order to fix a position of the probe.

A helical needle (12) is attached to a surgical probe (10) to aid in the insertion of the probe (10) into a tissue mass.

  The base (100) for a probe array is cleaned with, for example, an oxygen plasma, before introducing a probe solution to the probe holding units (102).

Then, the probe assay article is contacted with the target biopolymer, or the target assay article is contacted with the probe biopolymer under a condition that allows the formation of a probe-target complex.

To assemble the probe to the holster, the probe is initially slid laterally onto the holster and then slid forward to latch the probe into engagement with the holster.

A rotational motor (111) positions a second probe lead in a rotational direction relative to a first probe lead.

This invention relates to compositions, methods and devices relating to the infusion of a catheter lock solution into an indwelling catheter.
