Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
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., CO 2 ) 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.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An endometrial ablation method, comprising: creating a negative pressure in a fluid tight interior chamber of an ablation structure configured for endometrial ablation; introducing transcervically the ablation structure into a patient's uterine cavity wherein the negative pressure maintains the ablation structure in a collapsed condition as the ablation structure is introduced into the patient's uterine cavity; and creating a positive pressure in the flu…
