Medical - Medical: Instruments / Medical devices | | English term or phrase: expandable frame | DISPOSABLE DEVICE
The Disposable Device consists of a single-patient use, conformable bipolar electrode array mounted on an expandable frame that can create a confluent lesion on the entire interior surface area of the uterine cavity.
The Disposable Device is inserted transcervically into the uterine cavity, and the sheath is retracted to allow the bipolar electrode array to be deployed and conform to the uterine cavity.
The bipolar electrode array is formed from a metalized, porous fabric through which steam and moisture are continuously suctioned from the desiccated tissue.
The Disposable Device works in conjunction with a dedicated RF Controller to perform customized, global endometrial ablation in an average of approximately 90 seconds without the need for concomitant hysteroscopic visualization or endometrial pre-treatment.
The specific configuration of the bipolar electrode array and the predetermined power of the Controller create a controlled depth of ablation in uteri sounding less than or equal to 10 cm and having a minimum cornu-to-cornu distance of 2.5 cm.
During the ablation process, the flow of Radio Frequency (RF) energy vaporizes and/or coagulates the endometrium regardless of its thickness and desiccates and coagulates the underlying, superficial myometrium.
The Controller automatically calculates the optimal power level (W) required for the treatment of the uterine cavity, based on uterine size.
As tissue destruction reaches an optimal depth, increasing tissue impedance causes the Controller to automatically terminate power delivery, thereby providing a self-regulating process.
Blood, saline, and other liquid present in the uterine cavity at the time of the procedure, as well as vapor liberated from the desiccated tissue, are evacuated by continuous, automatic suctioning. |
