Abstract

A system for dilating a body cavity with a device including a series of elongated members, each having a central channel and increasing outer diameters where the members are positioned one over the other such that the members are advanced into the body cavity to incrementally dilate the body cavity. The central channels of each member allow for various procedures to be performed including, for example, the application of wireless energy (e.g., ultrasonic) to the body cavity, the introduction of an irrigating fluid and aspiration from the body cavity, and the introduction of a drug to the body cavity.
