The present invention provides a kit for delivering catheter brachytherapy to a subject comprising a medical balloon catheter () having a proximal () and distal () end, comprising a elongated catheter tube () with an inflation lumen () extending therewithin and at least one inflatable balloon (') towards the distal end () in fluid communication with the catheter tube () inflation lumen (), the catheter tube () configured to unfold from a kinked condition permitting the inflation lumen () to slidably receive a removable inner tube (), the inflation lumen () configured to carry inflation fluid to the least one inflatable balloon (&#x2032;) in the presence of the removable inner tube (); and a removable inner tube () having an elongated body, an open () proximal end (), a closed () distal end (), and a source wire lumen () extending therewithin, wherein the removable inner tube () is configured for insertion into and removal from at least part of the length of the inflation lumen (), and the source wire lumen () configured to receive a source wire () bearing a therapeutic radiation source (). It also provides a method for delivering catheter brachytherapy to a subject.

Method and kit for delivery of brachytherapy to a subject

A positioning device () for treating the inner walls of a resection cavity, which was created by surgically removing of at least a portion of a tumor in a living body, characterized by the fact that the material of the device (), part(s) of the device and accessories of the device () is (are) biologically degradable in the living body. Further a surgical procedure for treating a tumor in a living body of at least one of the former claims, comprising: (a) surgically removing at least a portion of said tumor thereby creating a cavity in the living body's remaining tissue; (b) placing a biodegradable treatment device in said cavity so that the degradable device occupies said cavity; and (c) treating tissue surrounding said cavity by means of said positioning device.

The invention concerns a medical tubing assembly () comprising: finned medical tubing () formed from an elongate tubular member () disposed with one or more longitudinal fins (), a collar (), slidably mountable on the finned tubing (), equipped with a locking means and optionally one or more suture eyelets (), said locking means configured to provide a locking force against one or more of the longitudinal fins (). The invention allows securing of a medical tubing in situ that prevents slippage or damage to the tubing wall.

Medical tubing assembly to facilitate tube fixation

The invention relates to an implant for treating a cavity that is created as a result of a resection, the implant being modular and the modules being interconnectable.

A device for treatment of mitral annulus dilatation comprises an elongate body having two states. In a first of these states the elongate body is insertable into the coronary sinus and has a shape adapting to the shape of the coronary sinus. When positioned in the coronary sinus, the elongate body is transferable to the second state assuming a reduced radius of curvature, whereby the radius of curvature of the coronary sinus and the radius of curvature as well as the circumference of the mitral annulus is reduced.
