Abstract:
There is provided a method for controlling a flow of eggs in a uterine tube formed by a uterine tube wall of a patient. The method comprises gently constricting (i.e., without substantially hampering the blood circulation in the uterine tube wall) at least one portion of the uterine tube wall to influence the flow of eggs in the uterine tube, and stimulating the constricted wall portion to cause contraction of the uterine tube wall portion to further influence the flow of eggs in the uterine tube. The method can be used for restricting or stopping the flow of eggs in the uterine tube, or for actively moving the fluid in the uterine tube, with a low risk of injuring the uterine tube.

Claim (Index 303):
A system for controlling a flow of eggs in a uterine tube of a female patient, the system comprises:\n a constriction device adapted to constrict the uterine tube from the outside thereof on at least one selected portion of the uterine tube wall, thereby constricting the at least one selected wall portion to a constricted state in which the blood circulation in the at least one selected wall portion, when constricted, is substantially unrestricted, wherein the constriction device is adapted to constrict the uterine tube in order to influence the flow of eggs in the uterine tube, and a stimulation device adapted to electrically or thermally stimulate different areas of at least one portion of the selected wall portion of the uterine tube wall from the outside thereof, when gently constricted, wherein the stimulation device is adapted to stimulate the uterine tube in order to cause contraction of the at least one portion of the selected wall portion to further influence the flow of eggs in the uterine tube, and a control device adapted to control the constriction device and stimulation device to co-ordinate the gentle constriction and stimulation.
