    摘要: A medical device which includes an elongate probe member sized to be able to enter a urethra of a female human body and having a length so that when the distal extremity is disposed in the vicinity of a target volume of tissue surrounding the urethra the proximal extremity is outside of the urethra. The elongate probe member has a passage extending from the proximal extremity to the distal extremity. At least one tubular needle is disposed in the passage and has first and second extremities and a flow passageway therein extending longitudinally from the first extremity to at least one opening provided in the second extremity of the at least one tubular needle. A control handle is secured to the proximal extremity of the elongate probe member for causing movement of the at least one tubular needle in the passage. A guide passageway causes movement of the at least one tubular needle through a curved path extending at an angle to the longitudinal axis. A supply assembly is carried by the proximal extremity of the elongate probe member and is in communication with the flow passageway of the at least one tubular needle for introducing an agent into the flow passageway. A method for use of the device is provided.

    摘要: A radially expandable intravascular medical device is disclosed. The device typically includes two members. The first member is an outer tube-shaped sheath which is radially expandable by being formed from elastic material or other means and having relatively low column strength. The second member is an inner portion extending throughout the outer tube. This inner portion includes a slit to allow it to expand radially as well. Using the structure diagnostic, therapeutic, or other desired objects may be conveyed through the device yet still enable the device to have a smaller cross-sectional area throughout most of its length than the object conveyed therethrough.

    摘要: A method and system of providing therapy to a patient's uterus. The method include the following steps: inserting an access tool through a cervix and a cervical canal into the uterus; after inserting the access tool into the uterus, inserting a vapor delivery tool through an access tool lumen; delivering vapor through the vapor delivery tool into the uterus; and condensing the vapor on tissue within the uterus. The system has an access tool, the access tool being adapted to be inserted through a human cervical canal to place an opening of the access tool lumen within a uterus when the access tool is inserted through the cervical canal; and a vapor delivery mechanism, the vapor delivery mechanism having a vapor delivery tool and a vapor source, the vapor delivery tool being adapted to be inserted through the access tool to deliver condensable vapor from the vapor source to the uterus, the condensable vapor being adapted to condense within the uterus.
