Publication number: 20240058055Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for evaluating the integrity of a uterine cavity. A method comprises introducing transcervically a probe into a patient's uterine cavity, providing a flow of a fluid (e.g., CO2) through the probe into the uterine cavity and monitoring the rate of the flow to characterize the uterine cavity as perforated or non-perforated based on a change in the flow rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: MINERVA SURGICAL, INC.Inventors: Akos Toth, Robin Bek, Dominique Filloux, Tejas N. Mazmudar, Csaba Truckai

Publication number: 20230389857Abstract: A system for accessing a patient's uterine cavity and detecting perforations in the uterus includes an elongated probe having a flow channel extending to a terminal outlet in a distal region of the probe. A fluid source is coupled to the flow channel, and a seal on the probe is positionable in an endocervical canal. The probe may be trans-cervically inserted into the uterine cavity, and a fluid may be introduced through the channel to flow outwardly from the terminal outlet into the uterine cavity. A parameter of said fluid flow is monitored to detect a perforation in the uterus.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Applicant: MINERVA SURGICAL, INC.Inventors: Dominique Filloux, David Clapper, Eugene Skalnyi, Akos Toth, Sean Darby, Tejas N.

Publication number: 20190350644Abstract: A system for treating uterine tissue comprises an elongated shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis extending between said proximal and distal ends. An energy applicator at the distal end of the elongated shaft is actuatable between a non-expanded shape to be inserted through a patient's cervical canal and an expanded shape to conform to the walls of the patient's uterus. A handle is coupled to a proximal end of the elongated shaft. The handle may include first and second moveable grips coupled to actuate the energy applicator with an upper spring and a lower spring disposed to urge the first and second moveable grips to move apart. An inflatable seal may be located at a distal end of the elongated shaft with a thermally insulating sleeve disposed over the elongated shaft proximal to the inflatable seal.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2019Publication date: November 21, 2019Applicant: Minerva Surgical, Inc.Inventors: Dominique Filloux, Dave Clapper, Eugene Skalnyi, Akos Toth, Sean Darby, Tejas N.
