Device and method for collecting endogenous gaseous nitric oxide (NO), in the urogenital tract, for example in the urinary tract and in the uterus and oviducts. According to one embodiment of the invention (see fig. 3), a NO permeable, liquid impermeable inflatable body (6) is positioned in the urethra (4) surrounded by the prostate gland (5), whereby an additional inflatable body (3) positioned in the bladder (2) serves to seal off the bladder from the urethra and helps in the positioning of the device. The present invention further relates to a novel method and a system for use in the diagnosis of inflammatory states in said organs.
Dispositif et méthode pour collecter le monoxyde d'azote gazeux endogène (NO) dans le tractus urogénital, par exemple dans le tractus urinaire, l'utérus et les trompes. Selon l'un des modes de réalisation (fig. 3), un corps gonflable (6) perméable au NO mais imperméable aux liquides est positionné dans l'urètre (4) entouré par la prostate (5), tandis qu'un corps gonflable supplémentaire (3) placé dans la vessie (2) sert à fermer hermétiquement cette dernière par rapport à l'urètre et aide à positionner le dispositif. L'invention concerne également une nouvelle méthode et un nouveau système pouvant être utilisés pour le diagnostic des états inflammatoires desdits organes.
