A surgical balloon is provided for insertion into a uterus that includes a substantially
continuous outer wall defining an exterior surface of the balloon on a first side
and an interior hollow of the balloon on a second side, with the outer wall being
formed from a stretchable elastic material and being stretchable by pressure within
the inner hollow between a collapsed state and an expanded state. The substantially
continuous outer wall has a base portion for coupling with shaft, an intermediate
portion adjacent the base portion and an end portion at a distal end of the balloon
and adjacent the intermediate portion. The base portion has a first primary wall
