Abstract: A system for accessing a patient's uterine cavity and detecting perforations in the uterus includes an elongated probe having a flow channel extending to a terminal outlet in a distal region of the probe. A fluid source is coupled to the flow channel, and a seal on the probe is positionable in an endocervical canal. The probe may be trans-cervical inserted into the uterine cavity, and a fluid may be introduced through the channel to flow outwardly from the terminal outlet into the uterine cavity. A parameter of said fluid flow is monitored to detect a perforation in the uterus.

Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for evaluating the integrity of a uterine cavity. A method comprises introducing transcervically a probe into a patient's uterine cavity, providing a flow of a fluid (e.g., CO2) through the probe into the uterine cavity and monitoring the rate of the flow to characterize the uterine cavity as perforated or non-perforated based on a change in the flow rate.

Abstract: A handle assembly for a tissue resection device may include a handle including an elongate tubular body defining a central longitudinal axis, and a palm grip extending from the elongate tubular body, the palm grip being configured to be engaged by a palm of a user; a trigger member extending from the elongate tubular body, the trigger member being configured to be engaged by one or more fingers of the user; and a drive mechanism disposed within the elongate tubular body, the drive mechanism being configured to move a tissue resection element extending distally from the elongate tubular body. The trigger member is engaged with the drive mechanism such that translation of the trigger member relative to the handle actuates the drive mechanism. The trigger member is configured to translate parallel to the central longitudinal axis between a first position and a second position.

Abstract: A system for treating uterine tissue comprises an elongated shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis extending between said proximal and distal ends. An energy applicator at the distal end of the elongated shaft is actuatable between a non-expanded shape to be inserted through a patient's cervical canal and an expanded shape to conform to the walls of the patient's uterus. A handle is coupled to a proximal end of the elongated shaft. The handle may include first and second moveable grips coupled to actuate the energy applicator with an upper spring and a lower spring disposed to urge the first and second moveable grips to move apart. An inflatable seal may be located at a distal end of the elongated shaft with a thermally insulating sleeve disposed over the elongated shaft proximal to the inflatable seal. An extension member may be coupled to axially advance and retract the extension member and have a central passage to removably receive an endoscope to enable viewing through the transparent portion of the energy applicator. Alternatively, a tubular sheath may be coupled to the elongated shaft to removably receive an endoscope to enable forward viewing from a location near the distal end of the energy applicator.
