NovaSure SureSound - 2013


Device Description

A combined handpiece and bipolar electrode array intended to be introduced into the uterine cavity to deliver radio-frequency (RF) current for coagulation/ablation of the endometrium to treat menorrhagia. It is designed to be inserted without imaging whereby the electrode array is expanded in situ to achieve full endometrium contact. It includes tubing for delivery of carbon dioxide (CO2) to assess uterine cavity integrity (intactness), and for suction to clear and maintain endometrium contact within the cavity; ablation is automatically interrupted at a pre-set impedance threshold. This is a single-use device.
