ABSTRACT:
A device for introducing and polymerizing polymeric biomaterials in the human body. The device has a first elongate tubular member having proximal and distal extremities and a longitudinal axis. An expansile member is carried by the distal extremity of the first elongate tubular member and is movable between contracted and expanded positions. The expansile member has a predetermined configuration in the expanded position. A deformable membrane covers the expansile member and is sized so as to be capable of overlying and underlying the expansile member in the expanded position. A second elongate tubular member has proximal and distal extremities, a longitudinal axis and a first lumen extending from the proximal to the distal extremity of the second elongate tubular member. The distal extremity of said second elongate tubular member terminates proximal to the distal extremity of said first elongate tubular member and adjacent to said expansile member. The first elongate tubular member is carried by said second elongate tubular member. Light conductors are carried by the second elongate tubular member for conducting light to the distal extremity of the second elongate tubular member.
