The invention is directed to tenaculum-like devices and systems for the intravaginal delivery of therapeutic or diagnostic devices and particularly for occluding a female patient~s uterine arteries in order to treat uterine disorders. Included are methods for grasping, manipulating and retaining tissue. The tenaculum-type device has a distal portion with a sound configurer to enter a cervical os without causing undue trauma or discomfort to the patient, and a retention or tissue grasping mechanism with a grasping element such as a spike configured to engage and retain a patient~s cervix. The tenaculum-type devices embodying features of the invention may have an expandable distal tip to more securely be engaged within the patient~s uterine cervical canal.

Cette invention concerne des dispositifs de type tenaculum et des systèmes destinés à acheminer par voie intravaginale des appareils de traitement ou de diagnostic, notamment pour l'occlusion d'artères utérins chez une patiente, en vue de traiter des troubles de l'utérus. L'invention concerne également des procédés de préhension, de manipulation et de retenue d'un tissu. Le dispositif de type tenaculum présente une partie distale munie d'un configurateur acoustique pouvant pénétrer dans un os cervical sans provoquer de trauma indû ou d'inconfort chez la patiente; et un mécanisme de préhension du tissu muni d'un élément de préhension, tel qu'un crampon configuré pour entrer en prise avec et assujettir le col utérin de la patiente. Les dispositifs de type tenaculum présentant les fonctions de l'invention peuvent comprendre un embout distal extensible pour une introduction plus sûre dans le canal du col utérin de la patiente.
