An apparatus for effecting change in at least a portion of a selected site of a collagen containing tissue that is at least partially adjacent to a fluid medium. The apparatus includes an energy delivery device configured to deliver a level of energy to the selected site of the collagen containing tissue. The energy delivery device includes a distal portion where a sensor is positioned. The sensor provides a signal indicative of the thermal energy content of at least the selected site of the collagen containing tissue and the adjacent fluid medium to a feedback control unit. The signal is received by the feedback control system which adjusts the level of energy supplied to the energy delivery.

Dispositif modifiant au moins une partie d'un site donné de tissus contenant du collagène, au moins partiellement adjacent à un milieu liquide. Le dispositif comprend un système fournisseur d'énergie conçu pour délivrer une certaine énergie au site considéré. Le système en question comprend une partie distale équipée d'un capteur, lequel fournit à une unité de commande asservie un signal indiquant le degré d'énergie thermique du site choisi sur les tissus contenant du collagène et du milieu liquide adjacent. En recevant un tel signal, l'unité asservie règle le niveau de l'énergie transmise via le système fournisseur.
