Abstract:
A probe may be inserted into a body cavity to perform diagnostic intervention(s), therapeutic intervention(s), or both. The probe may be inserted through a body aperture that is naturally occurring or man-made, intentionally or by accident. The body aperture may form a seal encircling the probe so that insufflation retention material may be effectively retained in the body cavity so that an operator can perform the intervention(s). However, there may be leakage of the insufflation material. The insufflation retention device is configured to form an effective seal contactingly adjacent the body aperture and to provide a passageway for the introduction of the probe into the body cavity, such that a diagnostic intervention or therapeutic intervention or both may be performed.

Claim (Index 10):
An apparatus comprising:\n an internal buttress, wherein in a contracted state the internal buttress is configured for insertion through a body aperture of a body into a body cavity of the body and in an expanded state the internal buttress is configured to inhibit removal of the internal buttress from the body cavity through the body aperture, wherein the internal buttress is configured to form a body internal buttress seal between the body cavity and the internal buttress; an external buttress configured to inhibit advancement of the external buttress through the body aperture into the body cavity, the external buttress is configured to form a body external buttress seal between the body and the external buttress; a midportion disposed between the internal buttress and the external buttress, the midportion is configured to form a body midportion seal between the body aperture and the midportion; and a passageway through the midportion configured for passage of a probe into the body cavity, wherein the passageway is configured to form a probe passageway seal between the probe and the passageway, and wherein the probe passageway seal, the body midportion seal, the body internal buttress seal, and the body external buttress seal are configured to promote retention of an insufflation material inserted into the body cavity for a time effective for operator performance of a diagnostic intervention, a therapeutic intervention, or both.
