    摘要: A method for mapping a lymphatic system following a cavity generating procedure, may include a step of providing a post-biopsy cavity treatment implant, the implant including a collagenous matrix having a non-uniform cross-linking density that is configured to cause the implant to swell non-uniformly when placed within an aqueous environment, the implant including a dye or a pigment contained therein. The provided post-biopsy cavity treatment implant may then be implanted into the cavity and the cavity closed. The dye/pigment may then be caused to be released from the implant and to propagate through the lymphatic system. The propagated dye/pigment may then be visualized in the lymphatic system using a selected visualization mode.

    摘要: A method of removing breast tissue may include a step of providing a tissue cutting device having an elongate cutting element coupled to a shaft, in which the cutting element is movable between a bowed position and a retracted position. A deployed part of the cutting element may lie outside the shaft when in the bowed position, and the deployed part of the cutting element may have a cutting side which penetrates the tissue as the shaft is rotated. The tissue cutting device may be introduced into the breast and a power source may be coupled to the elongate cutting element. The elongate cutting element may be moved to the bowed position so that the deployed part of the cutting element lies outside the shaft. Energy may be prevented from being transmitted from a portion of the deployed part of the cutting element for cutting to the tissue while the elongate cutting element is in the bowed position. The cutting device may be rotated so that the cutting side of the bowed cutting element penetrates the breast tissue to cut the breast tissue for removal.

    摘要: The present short-term post surgical cavity treatment device includes a first portion including an inflatable balloon at the distal end of the device and a second portion coupled to the first portion that defines at least an inflation lumen and a treatment lumen. The second portion may be configured such that the inflation lumen enables inflation of the inflatable balloon. An inflation port may be coupled to the inflation lumen to enable introduction of a fluid or gas into the inflatable balloon. The second portion of the present device may be configured such that the treatment lumen enables various short-term cavity treatments, therapies and methods within the cavity in conjunction with the inflatable balloon. The balloon may be configured so as to inflate in a predetermined shape. This predetermined shape may be configured so as to substantially match the shape of the cavity within the tissue. The inflatable balloon may also be configured, treated, coated or otherwise configured so as to carry out a beneficial function on the tissue walls defining the post surgical cavity.
