APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR EVERTING CATHETER FOR EMBRYO TRANSFER USING TRANSVAGINAL ULTRASOUND

摘要

Everting balloon systems and methods for using the same with an alignment element for stability and anti-rotation of the everting balloon are disclosed herein. The systems can be configured to access and deliver instruments, media, or other catheters into bodily lumens and cavities. The alignment element eliminates the potential for the everting membrane to become twisted or rotated which could impact access or the ability of the system to deliver materials. A compliance member facilitates internal pressurization of the everting catheter system. An everting catheter system configured for use with transvaginal ultrasound and a lower profile speculum is described.
