Abstract: An apparatus for treating uterine disorders by effecting necrosis of the uterine endometrium. The apparatus has a catheter with a bladder which can be inflated with a hot medium. To prevent early inflation of the bladder, the apparatus has an occlusion member arranged between a reservoir which contains the inflation medium and the bladder.

Abstract: An electrosurgical instrument and apparatus for use with the instrument A bipolar electrosurgical instrument for use with an electrosurgical generator. The bipolar electrosurgical instrument incorporates a transformer having an input side or end electrically connected to the electrosurgical generator and an output side or end electrically connected to said bipolar electrosurgical instrument. The inexpensive bipolar electrosurgical instrument can be used with most conventional bipolar electrosurgical generators as well as with bipolar electrosurgical generators specifically designed for use with said instrument.

Abstract: A plaster device serves for fixating a length of a medical tube in relation to a skin surface of an individual having the tube inserted into a body part via an opening. The plaster device has an adhesive part having an upper side, an adherent lower side for attaching the plaster device to the skin, a through-opening for receiving the tube, a support part at least partly attached to the upper side of the adhesive part and arranged for supporting a bent length of the inserted tube, and a fastener for securing the tube on the support part. The support part is an integral unit having a branched-off portion defining at least one recess for accommodating at least a part of the fastener, preferably a fastener that is elastic. A frictional force between the tube and the fastener guarantees that the tube is prevented from moving or displacing to the patient's discomfort. The convex shape of the upper supporting surface provides a smooth anti-kinking support and guidance for the bended tube.

The support part is an integral unit having a branched-off portion defining at least one recess for accommodating at least a part of a fastening means, preferably elastic means. A frictional force between the tube and the fastening means guarantees that the tube is prevented from moving or displacing to cause patient discomfort.

Abstract: A plaster device serves for fixating a length of a medical tube in relation to a skin surface of an individual having the tube inserted into a body part via an access opening. The plaster device includes an adhesive part having an upper side an adherent lower side for attaching the device to the skin, and a through-opening for receiving the tube. A support part is provided on the upper side of the adhesive part and arranged for supporting an inserted tube at a bent section. The support part is partly joined to the adhesive part and includes first and second oppositely facing jaws for taking hold of at least a section of the bent tube. The jaws are interconnected at oppositely facing first ends by a support section arranged adjacent to the through-opening in the adhesive part.

Abstract: An electrosurgical device for coagulating and for making incisions in or severing tissue such as blood vessels, the device comprising forceps jaws (6, 7) for immobilizing a tissue portion to be coagulated and incised, the forceps jaws (6, 7) being connected to means for applying an electrical tension between said forceps jaws for coagulating the tissue portion, the device further comprising a member (22) for being displaced between said forceps jaws (6, 7) to incise a tissue portion held between the forceps jaws and coagulated thereby, the member (22) being connected to means for applying an electrical voltage to said member for performing an incision in said tissue by means of said electrical voltage applied to said member (22) the member (22) preferably being blunt such that the incision substantially exclusively is achieved by means of the voltage applied to the member (22).
