Abstract:
1. A shape and depth template for incisions with treatment tips, comprising: a guiding body for guiding a treatment tip, said guiding body being delimited by two mutually opposite end faces arranged at a preset distance and by a lateral surface, a tissue-contacting one of said end faces being arrangeable so as to rest on a region where incision is to be performed by a treatment tip, said guiding body having a hole that passes through the guiding body from one of said end faces to the opposite one and that has a preset shape providing a contour to be followed by said treatment tip; a jacket that forms a reference for said guiding body, said jacket comprising a first end surface, a mutually opposite second end surface, which surrounds said tissue contact end, an outer surface and a through hole formed by an internal surface thereof that is shaped complementarily to said lateral surface; and a supporting structure having an inner engaging structure which surrounds the second end surface, which is shaped complementarily to said outer surface at said second end surface, and which is shaped to contact substantially all of said jacket at said region and to enable rigid fixation of said jacket where treatment tip incision is performed in an orientation such that said second end surface and said tissue-contacting end face are both held to rest upon the region, said supporting structure further having a perimeter extending radially outwardly from the engaging structure and oriented to fit over tissue surrounding the region.
