The cervix or cervix uteri (Latin, 'neck of the uterus') is the lower part of the uterus in the human female reproductive system. The cervix is usually 2 to 3 cm long (~1 inch) and roughly cylindrical in shape, which changes during pregnancy. The narrow, central cervical canal runs along its entire length, connecting the uterine cavity and the lumen of the vagina. The opening into the uterus is called the internal os, and the opening into the vagina is called the external os. The lower part of the cervix, known as the vaginal portion of the cervix (or ectocervix), bulges into the top of the vagina. The cervix has been documented anatomically since at least the time of Hippocrates, over 2,000 years ago.
Inter-cervical facet implant with surface enhancements
Systems and method in accordance with the embodiments of the present invention can include an implant for positioning within a cervical facet joint for distracting the cervical spine, thereby increasing the area of the canals and openings through which the spinal cord and nerves must pass, and decreasing pressure on the spinal cord and / or nerve roots. The implant can be inserted laterally or posteriorly.

Multi-axial uterine artery identification, characterization, and occlusion pivoting devices and methods
A system is provided for compressing one or both of the uterine arteries of a patient which is at least in part shaped to complement the shape of the exterior of the cervix, which allows the system to be self-positioning. One or more Doppler chips can be mounted or incorporated into the system which permit the practitioner to better identify the uterine artery and monitor blood flow therein. The system includes a pair of pivotally joined elements which can be moved toward and away from the cervix to compress a uterine artery.

Image guided high intensity focused ultrasound device for therapy in obstetrics and gynecology
InactiveUS20050203399A1Spread the wordNegatively affectedUltrasound therapyOrgan movement/changes detectionCervixUterus
A frame ensures that the alignment between a high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) transducer designed for vaginal use and a commercially available ultrasound image probe is maintained, so that the HIFU focus remains in the image plane during HIFU therapy. A water-filled membrane placed between the HIFU transducer and the treatment site provides acoustic coupling. The coupling is evaluated to determine whether any air bubbles exist at the coupling interface, which might degrade the therapy provided by the HIFU transducer. HIFU lesions on tissue appear as hyperechoic spots on the ultrasound image in real time during application of HIFU therapy. Ergonomic testing in humans has demonstrated clear visualization of the HIFU transducer relative to the uterus and showed the potential for the HIFU transducer to treat fibroids from the cervix to the fundus through the width of the uterus.

Apparatus and method for thermal ablation of uterine fibroids
InactiveUS20070088247A1Improve mobilityProtection from damageCannulasEndoscopesThermal insulationCervix
The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for thermally ablating uterine fibroids. More particularly, the present invention relates to a conduit having a plurality of channels for delivering a plurality of thermal ablation probes to an organic target such as a uterine fibroid, the probes being delivered in such configuration and orientation as to enable efficient and thorough ablation of the fibroid. In a preferred embodiment, the conduit is formed as a sleeve having a large central lumen sized to accommodate a hysteroscope, channels sized to accommodate cryoprobes are used as thermal ablation probes, and comprises thermal insulation materials serving to protect the cervix from damage by cold. The present invention further relates to bent cryoprobes usable in conjunction with such a conduit and designed to exit therefrom in a desired configuration useful for ablating a large fibroid.

Method and apparatus for performing hysterosalpingography
A uterine access catheter system comprises an inner catheter and a catheter sleeve slidably disposed over the inner catheter. Initial access to the uterus is accomplished by positioning the inner catheter through the cervix with the sleeve remaining outside of the cervix. After inflating a balloon near the distal end of the inner catheter, contrast media can be injected and hysterosalpingography performed. Should the initial hysterosalpingography be unsuccessful, direct access to the fallopian tubes can be achieved by further inserting the sleeve catheter through the cervix, removing the inner catheter, and utilizing a uterine catheter and fallopian catheter for accessing the fallopian tubes.

Thermally reversible implant and filler
The invention relates to the use of a thermal reversible gel, such as a copolymer composition, as a biological filler or implant. The gel has a semi-solid form at body temperature, but upon cooling to a temperature below a threshold level, the gel is liquefied and can be re-shaped, re-sized, manipulated or removed from the body. The gel may be used as a subcutaneous implant, a biological filler, joint or tissue spacer, for wrinkle filling or other cosmetic implants, as a soft-tissue replacement for reconstructive surgery, or as a barrier within the lumen of a biological structure, such as a blood vessel. The implant may be used to provide reversible birth control by providing, for example, a reversible barrier to the cervix or a reversible blockage of the lumen of the vas deferens.
