An occlusion device (10) for actively occluding the orifices (12) of the fallopian tubes (14) using the shape of the uterine cavity (16) as a guide to proper positioning of the occlusion device (10) includes a resilient body (18) including an elongated member (28) having a first end (30) and second end (32), and a first orifice plug (20) secured at first end (30) of the elongated member (28) and a second orifice plug (22) secured at second end (32) of the elongated member (28). The first and second orifice plugs (20, 22) are shaped and dimensioned to seat at the orifices (12) of the fallopian tubes (14) or within the fallopian tubes (14) as the elongated member (28) spreads outwardly with the first end (30) and second end (32) moving apart.

The invention relates to a training inserter (1) for an intrauterine system, said intrauterine system comprising a body (11) and removal strings (17), the training inserter comprising a handle (2) having a first end (3) and a second end (4), an insertion tube (5) having a first end (6) and a second end (7), and being arranged in connection with the handle (2), for receiving the intrauterine system, a plunger arranged inside the insertion tube (5), and first means for moving the insertion tube (5) with respect to the plunger for pushing out the intrauterine system. The training inserter further comprises second means (14, 18) that perform the following functions: attaching the removal strings to the inserter, pulling back the intrauterine system via the removal strings, and storing the removal strings.
摘要:
A device includes an insertion member having a distal end portion configured to be removably engaged with an implant, and a sheath having an exit portion and defining a lumen. The exit portion of the sheath includes a set of dilation members configured to be moved from a first configuration to a second configuration. The set of dilation members forms a dilation surface when the set of dilation members is in the first configuration and defines an opening when the set of dilation members is in the second configuration. The sheath includes a hinge configured to facilitate movement of the set of dilation members between the first configuration and the second configuration. The distal end portion of the insertion member configured to move within the lumen to convey the implant from within the lumen via the opening when the set of dilation members is in the second configuration.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a dispensing mechanism (2) for delivery of pharmaceutical forms (4) into body holes and an applicator (I) comprising the novel dispensing mechanism (2). The pharmaceutical form dispensing mechanism (2) Comprises a rod (2A) connected to a flexible member (2B). One end of the rod is free from constraints in order to allow its axial movement. The other end of the rod is cooperatively connected to said flexible member (2B). The flexible member has a rounded or angular shape, being able to be deformed and being provided with shape memory. The flexible member (2B) extends in a direction perpendicular to the direction of a compression force applied to it and recovers its original shape when said compression force is withdrawn, thereby imparting, respectively, a forward or rearward movement to the rod (2A), namely when a part (2C) thereof is immobilized in the body (3) of the applicator.
摘要:
An applicator for use in the fitting of an occlusive plug of the screw in kind to a fallopian tube, said applicator comprising: a body member; an eyepiece fitted to one end of the body member; an elongate probe carried by, and projecting from the other end of the body member; a fibre optic cable extending from the eye-piece along the interior of the probe to a terminal end of the probe distal from the body member; a nose piece movably mounted at said distal end of the probe and adapted to releasably receive a rear, drive end of an occlusive plug; a mechanical connection extending between the body member and the nose-piece whereby the practitioner may, within limits, vary the angle of the nose- piece with respect to its carrier tube; and a rotational drive means extending between the body member and the nose-piece to apply torque & hence rotational movement to an occlusive plug temporarily held by the nose-piece.
摘要:
A delivery device includes a housing, an insertion member, a transfer member, and an actuator. The insertion member includes a distal end portion configured to be removably coupled to an implant. At least a portion of the insertion member is movably disposed within a passageway defined by the housing. The transfer member includes a coupling portion configured to be coupled to the insertion member to transfer a force from the actuator to the insertion member such that the insertion member is moved relative to the housing. The coupling portion of the transfer member is configured to move relative to the insertion member when the force exerted by the actuator exceeds a threshold value.
