Zusammenfassung:PCT No. PCT/AU96/00116 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 5, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 5, 1997 PCT Filed Mar. 6, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/27323 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 12, 1996Apparatus for dilating a body cavity comprising at least two elongate elements positioned in generally side-by-side relationship. The elongate elements are movable laterally with respect to each other between a contracted condition wherein first end sections of the elongate elements are closely adjacent one another for insertion into the body cavity, and an expanded condition wherein the first end sections of the elongate elements are circumferentially spaced apart for dilating the body cavity. The elongate elements are arranged to normally occupy the contracted condition, and a control device is provided for selectively moving the elongate elements from the contracted condition to the expanded condition.
