Abstract
A system for treating uterine tissue comprises an elongated introducer with a working end configured for endometrial ablation. The working end includes an expandable seal for positioning in a patient's cervical canal and an actuator pump mechanism carried by a proximal handle coupled to the introducer for expanding the seal. The handle optionally includes a mechanism for simultaneously expanding the seal and deploying a treatment element on the working end of the introducer.
