Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A device for performing an intraluminal
procedure at a situs in a patient, said device comprising a barrier
(20) to abut the lumen wall when in an expanded
condition; and a procedure device capsule having a tubular
flexible sleeve (15),
the barrier being mounted on a flexible member
for transporting the barrier (20)
endoluminally to said situs, the barrier (20) being
movable relative to the sleeve (15) to exit from the
sleeve, and being expansible to abut the lumen wall when
so exited to encircle the situs, characterized in that the flexible member is tubular to offer a working
channel within it, an open end of the working channel
(5) being attached to a perforate end of the barrier to
allow an exit from the working channel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
14 words
The device of claim 1, wherein the barrier (20)
is of selectively permeable material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The device of claim 1 wherein the barrier (20)
has a circumferentially differentially expandable bracer
(25) to allow changes in the angle of the working
channel (5) of the barrier, in relation to the situs.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
63 words
The device of claim 1, further comprising: a tissue cutter for removal of undesired tissue,
the tissue cutter having at least one blade (45) and a
cable (35), the cable being in the working channel and
said at least one blade (45) being movable to an
unextended condition and being capable of endovascular
passage to the encircled situs while in the unextended
condition.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
The device of claim 4, wherein said at least one
blade (45) has a hinge (30) for allowing movement of the
blade (45) to and from unextended and extended
conditions.
