Publication number: 20210154044Abstract: An intrauterine device and method of delivering and using same are provided. The intrauterine device includes a wire having a portion capable of forming a three dimensional (3D) structure. The 3D structure is elastically deformable to a partially collapsed configuration via a crush force larger than a force applied thereto by a relaxed uterine cavity. The three dimensional structure is also capable of elastically contracting and expanding in response to contraction and expansion of the uterine cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2021Publication date: May 27, 2021Applicant: OCON Medical Ltd.Inventors: Ilan BAR-AM, Ariel Weinstein

Publication number: 20200222230Abstract: The present invention discloses an Intra Uterine Ball (IUB) device useful for a gynecological procedure or treatment. The aforesaid device comprises a hollow sleeve for at least partial insertion into the uterine cavity; and, an elongate conformable member with at least a portion comprised of shape memory alloy. The elongate member is adapted to be pushed out from said sleeve within said uterine cavity. It is the core of the invention that the elongate member is adapted to conform into a predetermined three dimensional ball-like configuration within said uterine cavity following its emergence from said sleeve, such that expulsion from said uterine cavity, malposition in said uterine cavity, and perforation of the uterine walls is prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2020Publication date: July 16, 2020Applicant: OCON Medical Ltd.Inventor: Ilan BAR-AM
