Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004035110A2] An apparatus for injection treatment of diseases of a breast, uterus, fallopian tube, and female reproductive organs by injecting/delivering a treatment substance/chemo-gel, directly into the target tissue of the body organ, and thereby leaving the remaining body organs relatively unaffected. A hollow core needle with an echogenic tip is provided with an access probe having a passage channel for guiding the needle for percutaneous and interstitial access to a body part. An injection apparatus is also provided for injecting a treatment substance into a uterine cavity wherein the apparatus includes a cervical seal for retaining the substance in the uterus, and a device for monitoring pressure of the treatment substance in the uterine cavity.
