Abstract:
The present disclosure includes customized guidance devices in the form of guidance templates configured to fit over a given area of a patient's body and provide guidance during a tissue treatment or tissue removal procedure of that given area, which may include administration of an agent to a target tissue, target tissue biopsy, target tissue resection, or target tissue ablation. The customized guidance templates are generally constructed via an additive manufacturing process (i.e., three-dimensional (3D) printing) or subtractive manufacturing process (i.e., milling) based on a fabrication instruction file, which may include imaging data of the given area of the patient's body in which targeted tissue treatment is to be performed. The fabrication instruction file may further include additional data, such as the type of procedure to be performed (i.e., biopsy of the tissue abnormality, destruction or resection of the tissue abnormality, etc.).

Claim (Index 18):
A guidance template device for providing guidance for a targeted tissue treatment or tissue removal procedure, the guidance template device comprising:\n a cover portion shaped and sized to fit over a surface of a patient near a target tissue to undergo a treatment or removal procedure, the cover portion including at least one form including an interior surface matching the surface of the patient such that the cover portion correspondingly fits over the surface of the patient; at least one access site integrally formed with the cover portion and positioned so as to direct a working end of an electrosurgical device to a respective location associated with the target tissue when the cover portion is placed on the surface of the patient, wherein the working end of the electrosurgical device is configured to apply energy to the target tissue; and a temperature management assembly integrally formed with the cover portion and positioned so as to maintain a temperature of surrounding or adjacent tissue relative to the target tissue upon application of energy to the target tissue from the working end of the electrosurgical device to thereby prevent damage to the surrounding or adjacent tissue when the cover portion is placed on the surface of the patient.
