The NovaSure®Impedance Controlled Endometrial Ablation System is intended to ablate the endometrial lining of the uterus in pre-menopausal women with menorrhagia (excessive bleeding) due to benign causes for whom childbearing is complete.


Product Overview

The NovaSure®Impedance Controlled Endometrial Ablation System is intended to ablate the endometrial lining of the uterus in pre
NovaSure - NovaSure Controller


Device Description

An electrically-powered device intended to produce radio-frequency (RF) energy at a predetermined power (based on uterus size) for coagulation/ablation of the endometrium with a handpiece/electrode (not included) to treat menorrhagia. The RF generator is also intended to facilitate carbon dioxide (CO2) delivery from a CO2 cartridge for assessment of uterine cavity integrity (intactness), and includes a suction pump intended to facilitate constant contact between the electrode and endometrium. It is intended to monitor tissue impedance [resistance of the tissue to alternating electrical current (AC)] to automatically interrupt ablation at a pre-set impedance threshold.
