  • Publication number: 20100256623
    Abstract: A thermal ablation device includes an elongated member sized and shaped for insertion into a uterus via a cervical opening. The elongated member defines a first lumen extending therethrough to a first distal opening which, when the apparatus is in an operative position, opens into the uterus and a seal positioned on the elongated member so that, when the elongated member is in the operative position, the seal engages cervical tissue around a circumference of the elongated member and prevent fluids introduced into the uterus via the first lumen from flowing therepast into the cervix. The seal includes a plurality of flexible members separated from one another along a length of the elongated member and projecting radially outward from an outer surface of the elongated member.

  • Patent number: 6478635
    Abstract: In this electrical connection device comprising a female contact (27) which comprises a base portion (28) having, in a first end region (28a), at least one pair of flexible contact blades (29, 30, 31) and, in a second end region (28b), at least one pair of wings (32, 33) adapted to be seated on an electrical current supply conductor, there is provided in the transition region (28c) between the first and second end regions, two wings (34) which are bent toward each other and which bear end to end against each other so as to form with the base portion a closed rigidifying ring (35) which opposes deformation of the first end region (28a) and the modification of the spacing of the contact blades (29, 30, 31) when the wings (32, 33) are seated on the electrical conductor.
