  • Patent number: 9849199
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a foamed aqueous image enhancing composition containing cellulose and/or cellulose derivative(s), said composition having a pH between 5.5 and 7, wherein the viscosity of the composition is less than 1800 mPa·sec, and wherein a gas is maintained in the composition for at least 1 minute after preparation. The combination of low viscosity and foam stability makes the composition particularly suitable in patency tests and fallopian tube sterilization checks.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 11, 2016
    Date of Patent: December 26, 2017
    Assignee: Giskit B.V.
    Inventors: Niek Exalto, Mark Hans Emanuel
  • Patent number: 9717805
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an image enhancing composition for the enhancement of contrast in a body cavity, wherein the viscosity of the composition is between 2000 and 4000 mPa·sec. It also relates to a method for enhancing contrast of an image of a body cavity, which method comprises introducing one single small amounts of an image enhancing composition into the body cavity. In another aspect, the present invention provides a high contrast image of a body cavity obtained by the method of the invention, in particular a 3-dimensional high contrast image.

  • Publication number: 20090062770
    Abstract: In order to enlarge the uterus, inter alia for diagnostic purposes, it is proposed to seal the cervix once a liquid, such as a gel, has been introduced, by means of a sealing stopper, so that liquid does not constantly have to be supplied to the uterus. The sealing stopper is preferably coupled to a gel feed device which may comprise a simple syringe-type structure. This system comprises a non-return valve, as a result of which a gel can only be displaced in the direction of the uterus. In order to ensure that the sealing stopper can be removed, return means, such as a piece of string, are attached thereto.
