Applicator for injecting a bulking agent at one or more selected submucosal positions in a periurethral tissue of a female patients' urethra. The applicator comprises a lance, such as a cystoscope with a distal end provided with one or more optical sensors, and a needle guide with a bore receiving the lance. The needle guide comprises needle channels at different angular positions, each needle channel extending between a needle entrance surface and an opposite shoulder surface. The needle channels are oriented to direct a needle via external peripheral tissue of the urethral meatus to a submucosal position at a urethra section, e.g., within the optical scope of the optical sensor.

Applicator for delivering an occluding compound in a fallopian tube
Applicator for delivering an occluding compound in a fallopian tube includes a lumen extending between a proximal end connectable to a dispenser for containing uncured occluding compound, and a distal end. A spiral wire with a first end is connected to the distal end of the lumen and a free second end. A disconnecting member is configured to disconnect the spiral wire from the distal end. An actuator is configured to actuate the disconnecting member. The distal end of the lumen can be inserted into the fallopian tube. The spiral wire functions as a guide wire. The curable compound embeds the spiral wire. The actuator can be actuated to disconnect the embedded spiral wire from the distal end of the lumen.

BULKING AGENT APPLICATOR FOR TREATING FEMALE URINARY INCONTINENCE
Applicator (1, 40) for injecting a bulking agent at one or more selected submucosal positions (2) in a periurethral tissue of a female patients' urethra (4). The applicator comprises a lance (5, 41), such as a cystoscope with a distal end provided with one or more optical sensors (10), and a needle guide (6, 42) with a bore (14, 45) receiving the lance. The needle guide comprises needle channels at different angular positions, each needle channel (17, 48) extending between a needle entrance surface and an opposite shoulder surface (18). The needle channels (17, 48) are oriented to direct a needle via external peripheral tissue of the urethral meatus (19) to a submucosal position at a urethra section, e.g., within the optical scope of the optical sensor.
