Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatus and devices for performing improved gynecologic and urologic procedures are disclosed. The system and devices provide simplified use and reduced risk of adverse events. Patient benefit is achieved through improved outcomes, reduced pain, especially peri-procedural pain, and reduced recovery times. The various embodiments enable procedures to be performed outside the hospital setting, such as in a doctor's office or clinic. An intrauterine access end procedure system includes a mechanical distension element, to eliminate the need for liquid distension media at pressure sufficient to create a risk of intravasation.

Abstract:
Described herein are devices and methods that dampen transient intraocular pressure including pressure spikes experienced by the eye. The illustrative embodiments attenuate pressure waves and, thus, reduce wall stresses in a non-compliant eye such that the optic nerve is protected from damage in an ocular hypertensive or glaucoma patient, or during traumatic ocular procedures, and the refractive disorders of myopia, hyperopia, and/or presbyopia are moderated or reversed. In one embodiment, a compressible attenuation device insertable within the chambers of the eye preferably has an expanded volume within the range of from about 0.01 cc to 7 cc. The attenuation device may include a valve for permitting filling of the attenuation device through a delivery system. In another embodiment, the attenuation device comprises a flexible housing and a high vapor pressure media having a vapor pressure approximately equal to the intraocular pressure of the eye and a permeability of less than 1 ml/day at body temperature through an outer wall of the flexible housing.

Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatus and devices for performing improved gynecologic and urologic procedures are disclosed. Patient benefit is achieved through improved outcomes, reduced pain, especially peri-procedural pain, and reduced recovery times. The various embodiments enable procedures to be performed outside the hospital setting, such as in a doctor's office or clinic. Distension is achieved mechanically, rather than with liquid distension media, thereby eliminating the risk of intravasation.
