Patent

CA 2606714

One aspect of the present invention relates to a method of using peristalsis to force a polymer plug through a mammalian lumen, thereby removing any calculi and/or calculi fragments present in the lumen. In one embodiment, the method is used as an alternative to conventional lithotripsy. In another embodiment, the method is used in conjunction with lithotripsy, thereby removing the small calculi fragments that result from such procedures.

L'invention concerne dans un aspect une méthode d'utilisation des mouvements péristaltiques pour forcer un bouchon de polymère dans une lumière de mammifère, afin d'éliminer les calculs et/ou les fragments de calculs présents dans la lumière. Dans un mode de réalisation, ladite méthode est utilisée comme alternative à la lithotripsie classique. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, la méthode est utilisée conjointement à la lithotripsie, éliminant ainsi les petits fragments de calculs résultant des procédures associées.
