Abstract

A device and method for dilating a cervical canal. The device (1) includes an elongated member (10) with an expandable anchoring component (20) attached to its distal tip. An expandable dilating member (30) is attached to the elongated member (10) proximally of the anchoring component (20) for dilating the cervical canal. The anchoring component (20) can be expanded after insertion of the device (1) into the cervical canal to correctly position the device (1) relative to the canal. A device (100) and method for sealing a cervical canal is also provided. The device (100) includes a tube (200) having an expandable seal assembly (300) attached to its distal end. The seal assembly (300) has a ridged or corrugated surface when it is in an expanded condition to provide a seal for the cervical canal.
