ABSTRACT:
Multi-purpose pneumatic and hydraulic devices suitable for diagnostic and surgical use facilitate surgical procedures as well as enhance patient care and recovery by minimizing trauma, infection and iatrogenic complications. The multi-purpose devices each have at least one medical grade balloon and a stabilizing assembly to enhance positioning and engagement of the balloon in a lumen. The stabilizing assembly can take the form of another medical grade balloon or one or more vacuum responsive members, such as active or passive microsuckers. The multi-purpose device can also be equipped with a self-advancing unit, a bypass circuit, a vacuum retractor, a crusher, a multi-lens system and/or a fiberscope.
