Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A device for dividing a fibrous structure may include a handle having a proximal end. a distal end. and an imaging core extending therebetween. the imaging core configured to image tissue including the fibrous structure: an expandable member positioned near the distal end of the handle, the expandable member being transitionable between an inflated state and a deflated state, and the expandable member includes a cutting element arranged on a surface of the expandable member for weakening or cutting the fibrous structure resulting in its division: and a probe cover coupled to the handle. the probe cover including a covering extending in a proximal direction for draping over the handle to create a sterile barrier between the handle and the expandable member.
