Device for performing a surgical procedure and method
First Claim
1. A device for performing a surgical procedure comprising:
- an outer member extending along a central longitudinal axis and comprising an inner surface defining a first passageway;
an inflatable member having a proximal end coupled to the outer member, the inflatable member including an inner surface defining a chamber;
an inner member positioned within the first passageway and the chamber such that a distal end of the inner member is coupled to a distal end of the inflatable member, the distal end of the inner member comprising a stopper positioned such that the axis intersects an end wall of the stopper, the inner member having an inner surface defining a second passageway; and
a support member movably disposed within the second passageway,wherein translation of the support member along the axis in a first direction causes the device to move between a first position in which a distal end of the support member is spaced apart from the stopper and the inflatable member has a first length and a second position in which the distal end of the support member is positioned within the stopper and the inflatable member has a second length, the second length being greater than the first length.

Abstract
A medical balloon device includes an outer member extending along an axis. An inflatable member has a proximal end extending from a first end of the outer member and a distal end. An inner member is positioned within the outer member and the inflatable member such that a first end of the inner member is coupled to the distal end of the inflatable member. A support member is movably disposed within the inner member and includes a first end configured to removably engage the first end of the inner member. Translation of the support member along the axis causes the inflatable member to move between a first position in which the inflatable member has a first length and a first profile and a second position in which the inflatable member has a second reduced length and a second reduced profile. Methods of use are disclosed.

17. A device for performing a surgical procedure comprising:
-
an outer member defining an axis and comprising an inner surface defining a passageway; an inflatable member having a first end extending from a first end of the outer member, the inflatable member including an inner surface defining a chamber; an inner member disposed within the passageway and the chamber, the inner member including a first end that is coupled to a second end of the inflatable member; a stopper that is fixed to the first end of the inner member; and a support member movably disposed within the inner member, wherein translation of the support member along the elongated axis in a first direction causes the device to move between a first position in which the support member is spaced apart from the stopper and the inflatable member has a first length and a second position in which a portion of the support member is positioned within the stopper and the inflatable member has a second length, the second length being greater than the first length, and wherein rotation of the inner member relative to the outer member about the axis causes the inflatable member to twist about the axis such that the device moves between the second position and a third position.

18. A device for performing a surgical procedure comprising:
-
an outer member extending along an axis and comprising a first passageway; an inner member having a proximal end positioned within the first passageway, the inner member having an inner surface defining a second passageway; a stopper bonded to the inner surface of the inner member; an inflatable member having a proximal end coupled to the outer member and a distal end coupled to the inner member; and a support member movably disposed within the second passageway, the support member being configured for translation along the axis to move the device between a first position in which a distal tip of the support member is spaced apart from the stopper and the inflatable member has a first length and a second position in which the distal tip is positioned within the stopper and the inflatable member has a second length, the second length being greater than the first length. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
