    摘要: A device for sealing a cervical opening includes a support structure, and a seal coupled to the support structure, the seal having a surface for abutting against tissue next to the cervical opening, wherein the seal is tiltable relative to the support structure. A device for sealing a cervical opening includes a support structure, and a member coupled to the support structure, wherein the member is inflatable to create a seal for abutting against cervical tissue. A device for sealing a cervical opening includes a seal having a surface for contacting tissue next to the cervical opening, an opening formed on the surface of the seal, and a vacuum port, wherein the opening is in fluid communication with the vacuum port.

    摘要: A delivery catheter with a plug ejection mechanism with a fluid filled actuator incorporated in the catheter handle is disclosed. After delivery of RP energy, the plug is deployed within the region of the lesion by activating the plug ejection mechanism. A delivery catheter used for female sterilization with an atraumatic ball tip and an opening in the side wall of the catheter body is disclosed. The delivery catheter includes a hinge that will yield or bend under a certain load to prevent injury to the uterine wall or fallopian tube. The side wall opening is angled to allow proper placement of a plug into the fallopian tube for occlusion of the fallopian tube.

    摘要: An apparatus for processing a specimen from a fluid sample includes a first set of one or more microfluidic channels configured to deliver the sample fluid to a filter disposed on an inflatable bladder configured to transfer the specimen from the filter to a slide. The apparatus is configured to collect an approximate monolayer of particles and includes a second set of one or more microfluidic channels configured to remove fluid flowing through the filter disposed on the inflatable bladder. The apparatus also includes a pressure source, a sample container connected to the pressure source and the first set of one or more microfluidic channels, a fluid flow gauge configured to measure a fluid flow rate through the filter, and a stain source connected to the first set of one or more microfluidic channels.

    摘要: A method for treating a biological sample with a Papanicolaou staining process is provided. The method comprises incorporating a detergent treatment into the staining process at any of various steps. The method has been found to advantageously reduce the number of artifacts produced during Papanicolaou staining. Also provided is a sample stained by such a process.

    摘要: A microfluidic apparatus for isolating and imaging or analyzing cells of a cytological specimen includes a substrate and a microfluidic cellular isolation element that includes an outer wall, a channel, a partition member and a receptacle. The partition member is positioned within the isolation element interior, and the receptacle is positioned within the partition member interior. The isolation element is configured such that fluid introduced through the outer wall inlet flows through the channel in a first direction, and the partition member is situated such that fluid flows from the channel into the partition member interior through the partition member inlet aperture in a second direction different than the first direction. The receptacle positioned relative to the partition member inlet to catch and retain a cell carried by the fluid.
