Comfort, Control, Confidence

Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (HMB) can dramatically affect a woman’s comfort, confidence and quality of life. The NovaSure endometrial ablation procedure is a one-time, five-minute,² minimally invasive procedure, to reduce or stop HMB. The procedure is typically performed in an operating theatre, but under some circumstances may be performed in an outpatient setting.

Smart Depth Technology

The NovaSure procedure utilises unique, patented 'smart-depth-technology' to deliver customised ablation.

Smart

The technology continuously monitors and measures tissue impedance and calculates the optimal power level required to treat the cavity, based on uterine size.

Unique

Our unique SureClear™ fluid removal system provides constant tissue contact with the array through integrated suction. It simultaneously removes steam, blood, and other by-products.

Safety

The Cavity Integrity Assessment (CIA) is a built-in safety test that confirms uterine cavity integrity, giving you the confidence to perform a safer and effective ablation for every patient.

Innovative

Over 3 million procedures performed worldwide³ has driven continuous design improvements over the years based on user feedback.

Improving Patient Care is Within Your Control

For many women, the diagnosis and treatment of uterine disorders is a long, painful and frustrating journey. Our team pioneers gynaecological diagnostic and surgical solutions that give professionals greater confidence in patient diagnosis and more choice over treatment options.

Explore the Device

Utilises patented technology to deliver customised ablation to each patient. The device is inserted through the cervix into the uterus and emits precisely measured radio-frequency energy to remove the endometrium, the uterine lining that sheds during a period.

The NovaSure Endometrial Ablation System

The system consists of a controller and handheld disposable device. The design has been improved five times since launch, working in close collaboration with customers. However, the core technology has remained the same due to its track-record and proven efficacy.

Empowering Women with Knowledge

Providing women with clear, easy to understand information about heavy menstrual bleeding and treatment options is essential for informed, shared decision making. We have created a patient education website with information on heavy periods, treatments available for you to have conversations with your patients. This will help to empower these women to take the first step to live comfortably.
