    摘要: An adjuvant applicator comprises a balloon coupled to a distal end of a tube. The balloon has an inflated state and a deflated state. The exterior surface of the balloon includes a coating of an adjuvant. In one embodiment, the adjuvant is configured to absorb energy from laser light. In a method, the adjuvant applicator is provided. The balloon is inserted into the patient adjacent target tissue. The coating of adjuvant is then applied to the target tissue using the adjuvant applicator by inflating the balloon to the inflated state, which places the adjuvant in contact with the target tissue. Next, the balloon is removed from the patient and the adjuvant coated tissue is exposed to laser light. In one embodiment, the exposure of the adjuvant coated tissue to the laser light ablates the target tissue.
