Patent ID: 11033720

Abstract:
There is provided a cervical canal dilator device having a hollow shaft having proximal and distal ends. The shaft is covered on an end portion of the distal end by a slidable protective sleeve. There is at least one inflatable dilating balloon formed on the distal end of the shaft. There is at least one tube extending internally along the shaft and connected to the at least one balloon for inflation thereof, the tube having a connection port on the proximal end of the shaft. A camera is situated at the tip of the distal end of the shaft and a plurality of ejection orifices are formed on the shaft, adjacent to the camera, and anywhere else along it. The shaft is inserted into a patient's cervical canal while viewing the canal via the camera for guidance, and safe and easy placement of the hollow shaft during the insertion, and where the at least one balloon is inflated by introducing a substance via the connection port, the inflated balloon causing dilation of the cervical canal, the shaft being removed from the patient when the cervical canal is dilated.
