ABSTRACT:
Removal of foreign objects from tubular structures is accomplished by inserting a pressurizable tube with an expandable end chamber into the tubular structure past the position of the foreign object, forming a seal within the interior of the structure by expanding the end chamber, and withdrawing the tube to remove the obstruction. If desired, cleansing of the inner surface of the structure can be achieved by feeding a cleaning substance into the tube as it is being withdrawn.
