Abstract
A medical device operable to prevent reflux in the cervix is disclosed. The device comprises a shield operable to cover the external os and an arm operable to penetrate the endocervical canal with a bore extending therethrough, wherein the arm includes a sleeve containing a fluid that is operable to conform to the contours of the inner lining of the endocervical canal, thus creating a strong, more efficient fluid-tight seal between the device and the surrounding tissue.
