Abstract
A tubular device for the treatment of hollow organs is flexibly arranged and comprises a coating of silver. This coating is connected to a current source via connecting wires. Particularly, the tubular device is used for the treatment of the esophagus, and by the irritation caused by the electric current it is to effect an inflammation of the esophagus wall and thus a thickening of the latter so as to reduce the danger of hemorraghes of varicose veins within the esophagus or to prevent the hemorraghes. The tubular device is expansible in order to secure a close abutment of the silver coating against the mucous membrane of the esophagus.
