DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE TREATMENT OF INTRA-ABDOMINAL DISEASE

摘要

An apparatus, such as a medical device, includes an elongate member having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion. The elongate member defines a lumen extending from the proximal end portion to the distal end portion. The distal end portion of the elongate member is configured to be inserted into a body of a patient. The apparatus includes a heating element configured to heat the lumen defined by the elongate member such that a material within the lumen is heated and can be delivered to bodily tissue.
