when used with a fiberoptic endoscope, this device can be used in the lumbar and sacral spine for observing epidural anatomy, pathology and delivery of drugs approved for epidural indications.

The MYELOTEC VIDEO GUIDED CATHETER (VGC) consists of a flexible double lumen catheter, steering handle and associated ports for access to the lumens. The catheter has a built in steering mechanism that allows for guiding the soft tip through the epidural space and soft tissues for optimal access to the source of distress. Each lumen is one (1) mm in diameter. The design allows the use of a flexible fiber optic endoscope for visual examination of the area and surrounding tissues at the distal end of the catheter. This visual examination then allows the physician to diagnose the potential causes of neural distress and pain. The port on the second lumen allows the injection of saline to expand the space and expose the source of distress for viewing and treatment. The port also facilitates the connection of syringes to deliver physician selected therapeutic agents as appropriate to their diagnosis.

The Myeloscope is intended to be used by physicians for the illumination and The Mydlescope is intenthe epidural space in the lumbar and sacral spine for the purpose of assisting in the diagnosis of disease.
