Class Information
Number: 604/96.01
Name: Surgery > Means for introducing or removing material from body for therapeutic purposes (e.g., medicating, irrigating, aspirating, etc.) > Treating material introduced into or removed from body orifice, or inserted or removed subcutaneously other than by diffusing through skin > Material introduced or removed through conduit, holder, or implantable reservoir inserted in body > Having means inflated in body (e.g., inflatable nozzle, dilator, balloon catheter, occluder, etc.)
Description: Subject matter including an inflatable means carried by the conduit or holder which is expanded by a fluid such as air while disposed within the body for the purpose of retaining the conduit, dilating the body opening, or sealing the body opening.
