Bioresorbable inflatable devices and tunnel incision tool and methods for
treating and enlarging a tissue or an organ or a tube or a vessel or a
cavity. The device is composed of a hollow expanding pouch made of a
resorbable material or a perforated material that can be attached to a
filling element. The pouch can be filled with a biocompatible materials,
one or more times in few days interval, after the insertion of the
device. While filling the pouch every few days the tissue expands and the
filling material if it is bioactive start to function. The tunnel
incision tool composed of a little blade that emerges from the surface of
the tool in order to make shallow incisions in the surrounding tissue
therefore enabling easy expansion of the tissue. This device and method
can be used for example for: horizontal and vertical bone augmentation in
the jaws and the tunnel incision tool is used to make shallow incisions
in the periosteum when using the tunnel technique, sinus augmentation
when the device is placed beneath the Schneiderian tissue, vessels
widening if the pouch become a stent, fixating bone fractures etc.
