183 results about "Uterine cervix" patented technology

Cervix of uterus. The cervix of the uterus, also known as the cervix or uterine cervix, attaches the vagina to the uterus. It is approximately four centimeters long, approximately half of which extends into the vaginal canal; however, the length of the cervix can be affected by age and childbirth, along with individual (genetic) variations.

Electrosurgical instrument

A system and method are disclosed for removing a uterus using a fluid enclosure inserted in the peritoneal cavity of a patient so as to enclose the uterus. The fluid enclosure includes a distal open end surrounded by an adjustable loop, that can be tightened, a first proximal opening for inserting an electrosurgical instrument into the fluid enclosure, and a second proximal opening for inserting an endoscope. The loop is either a resilient band extending around the edge of the distal open end or a drawstring type of arrangement that can be tightened and released. The fluid enclosure is partially inserted into the peritoneal cavity of a patient in a deflated condition and then manipulated within the peritoneal cavity over the body and fundus of the uterus to the level of the uterocervical junction. The loop is tightened around the uterocervical junction, after which the enclosure is inflated using a conductive fluid. The loop forms a pressure seal against the uterocervical junction to contain the conductive fluid used to fill the fluid enclosure. Endoscopically inserted into the fluid enclosure is an electrosurgical instrument that is manipulated to vaporize and morcellate the fundus and body of the uterus. The fundus and body tissue that is vaporized and morcellated is then removed from the fluid enclosure through the shaft of the instrument, which includes a hollow interior that is connected to a suction pump The fundus and body are removed after the uterus has been disconnected from the tissue surrounding uterus.

Thermally reversible implant and filler

The invention relates to the use of a thermal reversible gel, such as a copolymer composition, as a biological filler or implant. The gel has a semi-solid form at body temperature, but upon cooling to a temperature below a threshold level, the gel is liquefied and can be re-shaped, re-sized, manipulated or removed from the body. The gel may be used as a subcutaneous implant, a biological filler, joint or tissue spacer, for wrinkle filling or other cosmetic implants, as a soft-tissue replacement for reconstructive surgery, or as a barrier within the lumen of a biological structure, such as a blood vessel. The implant may be used to provide reversible birth control by providing, for example, a reversible barrier to the cervix or a reversible blockage of the lumen of the vas deferens.

Method and invention for the treatment of diseases and disorders of the cervix

A method and device for delivering therapeutic agents to the cervix. The method utilizes a diaphragm with an electrically conductive surface that is placed atraumatically over the outer surface and inner os of the mammalian (animal or human) cervix. The agent is delivered to the diaphragm after which the conductive surface of the diaphragm may be charged by a power source to deliver a electrophoretic field to force the agent deep into cervical tissue and cells. The diaphragm may be used with or without the aid of external or internal leads. A unique intrauterine lead designed in this patent may also be used with the diaphragm to enhance delivery of therapeutic agents.

Uterine cervical cancer computer-aided-diagnosis (CAD)

InactiveUS20090046905A1Image enhancementImage analysisIodine lugolFluorescence
Uterine cervical cancer Computer-Aided-Diagnosis (CAD) according to this invention consists of a core processing system that automatically analyses data acquired from the uterine cervix and provides tissue and patient diagnosis, as well as adequacy of the examination. The data can include, but is not limited to, color still images or video, reflectance and fluorescence multi-spectral or hyper-spectral imagery, coherent optical tomography imagery, and impedance measurements, taken with and without the use of contrast agents like 3-5% acetic acid, Lugol's iodine, or 5-aminolevulinic acid. The core processing system is based on an open, modular, and feature-based architecture, designed for multi-data, multi-sensor, and multi-feature fusion. The core processing system can be embedded in different CAD system realizations. For example: A CAD system for cervical cancer screening could in a very simple version consist of a hand-held device that only acquires one digital RGB image of the uterine cervix after application of 3-5% acetic acid and provides automatically a patient diagnosis. A CAD system used as a colposcopy adjunct could provide all functions that are related to colposcopy and that can be provided by a computer, from automation of the clinical workflow to automated patient diagnosis and treatment recommendation.

Instrument for electrosurgical excision procedure for the uterine cervix

A cervical biopsy instrument that includes a central shaft defining a longitudinal axis and a stop extending laterally from the shaft. The stop typically is formed in substantially the shape of a circle in a plane disposed at substantially right angles to the central axis of the shaft. The instrument also includes an electrode extending from an endocervical portion of the shaft to the stop. The stop may be formed in the shape of a complete circle, or a partial circle. Any free ends are configured to be rounded and extend inwardly toward the shaft or away from the endocervical portion to prevent the presentation of sharp edges or the like which could be caught on irregularities of the uterine cervix. The stop may be affixed to the central shaft along a tangent, or ends of the stop may be affixed to the central shaft. In another embodiment, the stop encircles or partially encircles the shaft, with the shaft extending substantially through the center of the circle. In this embodiment, either one or two electrodes may be provided. Spokes support the stop with respect to the shaft. The spokes may be formed at an acute angle with respect to the shaft to extend away from the shaft toward the endocervical end thereof. These configurations allow the instrument to be rotated in either a clockwise or a counter-clockwise direction about the central axis of the shaft without fear of catching on the uterine cervix. In another aspect of the invention, a marker is provided on the stop to indicate the location of the electrode.
