Medical device and method for preventing adhesions

A method of treating a uterine cavity following a medical procedure therein, the method comprising:

• deploying a device within the uterine cavity in a delivery profile via an elongate introducer, the device having a contact surface carrying a first pharmacological agent;
• withdrawing the elongate introducer in a proximal direction;
• inflating the device to an expanded profile where the contact surface of the device engages a surface of the uterine cavity, wherein the device comprises a spring element configured to expand the device into the expanded profile such that the first pharmacological agent releases from the contact surface into the surface of the uterine cavity over a first time interval;
• flattening the device to a partially collapsed profile to provide a barrier between uterine cavity surfaces wherein a second pharmacological agent releases from the contact surface over a second time interval, wherein the device is laterally expanded in the partially collapsed profile;
• and
• removing the device in a removal profile after the second time interval.
