INSTRUMENT OF MEASUREMENT AND INTER-UTERINE INTERVENTION

摘要

P The invention relates to intrauterine expansion probes, allowing dimensional measurements and various sampling or curettage procedures. /P P A tubular mount 34 secured to a handle 36 carries a probe 42 with extensible wings 44, the deployment of which can be controlled at will by acting by traction on an axial rod 46. The gynecologist brings the wings out in contact with the uterus whose local width he can assess, knowing that of the wings spread and the depth of insertion of the instrument. The instrument makes it possible to define at least two stable deployment positions of the wings 44, to measure two widths of the uterus corresponding to two insertion depths of the instrument. The latter is operated by means of a push button 58 similar to that of a retractable ballpoint pen. /P P Application to expanding uterine probes, to allow by graphic extrapolation a complete schematic drawing of the profile of the uterus in width. /P
