AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current medical procedures for improving the intrauterine environment before and during pregnancy, such as those used in assisted reproductive medicine, often result in unsuccessful implantation of fertilized eggs due to uterine lining abnormalities and lack of precision in creating 'scratch marks' for embryo implantation, leading to recurrent implantation failure and potential uterine trauma.

Method used

A medical device with an articulating arm and integrated handle, capable of precise endometrial scratching and HSG procedures, allowing for one-handed operation and minimally invasive uterine access, featuring various tips (e.g., articulating, wire, balloon, snare) and imaging capabilities to guide the device accurately.

Benefits of technology

Enables precise and safe creation of small abrasions on the endometrial wall, reducing the risk of uterine puncture, while simultaneously performing HSG procedures with minimal trauma, thereby enhancing the chances of successful embryo implantation and pregnancy.

Abstract

A single handheld medical device for performing endometrial curettage and / or HSG procedures is disclosed. [Solution] The device includes a body comprising a handle integrally connected to an arm having an articulated member at its distal end. The handle comprises means for storing and pumping fluid into the uterus and locating the articulated member within the uterus using ultrasound or X-rays. The arm further comprises a shielding device operable to slidably engage with the arm of the device, and the shield and arm are configured to cover and seal the external os of the cervix to prevent backflow during use. Optional display means are disclosed, which comprises an image screen that is mountably attached to the device and communicates with a scope positioned within the arm.
