Abstract

A device adapted to be inserted into a lumen, the device having a longitudinal axis and comprising: a) a support element extending along the longitudinal axis; b) a tool mechanically mounted on the support element and being adapted to be used near a wall of the lumen on at least a first side of the longitudinal axis; and c) element, the balloon having at least one portion that is less radially expandable than at least one other portion of the balloon, at a same axial position along said support element.
