UTERINE DEVICES AND METHOD OF USE

摘要

A microcatheter (10) for use with endoscopic embryo implantations including a flexible hollow shaft (25) with a back end (22) and an open front end (30); an angled tip (34) extending from the open front end; and a cutting edge formed around at least a portion of the periphery of the angled tip. A hysteroscope (200) including a handle (227); a first tubular body (211) coupled to the handle and a second tubular body (212) comprising a polymer material coupled to a distal end of the first tubular body and the distal end defining a guide face (231), wherein the first tubular body and the second tubular body are co-linearly aligned and collectively define a first lumen (220) therethrough extending from an entry port (216) to the guide face; wherein the second tubular body has a dimension adequate for insertion into a uterus of a human subject, and wherein the guide face comprises an outside diameter less than an outside diameter of the second tubular body. Also, a method of using a hysteroscope having a single operating channel.
