Minimally Invasive Therapies / Clinical Solutions / Uterine Tissue Removal

Setting the standard in hysteroscopic tissue removal

More than 10 years of clinical experience

Featuring fast1, efficient resection, advanced fluid management and pathology optimized tissue removal devices, the TruClear™ system offers a complete technology platform for the removal of a range of intrauterine abnormalities.

 

ONE HIGH PERFORMANCE SYSTEM

“With the TruClear system, I can address a wide spectrum of abnormalities with one high-performing system.”
  Dr. Charles E. Miller, Advocate Lutheran General Hospital, Park Ridge, IL

A MORE COMPLETE AND EFFICIENT RESECTION

With 2% of the lesions remaining in situ after a TruClear™ procedure compared to 87% after a blind D&C, the TruClear™ system offers a clear advantage over traditional methods.1,2

Compared to electrical resection, a TruClear™ procedure is also faster, safer and less painful.1,3

MULTIPLE PROCEDURES

As the only pathology-optimized, hysteroscopic tissue removal system, the TruClear™ system enables more efficient1 procedures and enhanced performance for a full spectrum of conditions, including:

TruClear™ Polypectomy

  • May improve the efficiency of polyp removal by reducing polypectomy procedure time by half3 that of electrical resection
  • Is more likely to completely remove polyps compared to electrical resection1
  • Offers unimpeded access to all pathology within the cavity and resects polyps down to the base
  • Minimizes patient discomfort because of small scope diameters
  • Allows the treatment to be conducted in outpatient clinic with no or only local anesthesia

TruClear™ Myomectomy

  • Brings speed, efficiency and precision to the removal of intrauterine myomas
  • Helps ensure patient safety through advanced fluid management
  • Reduces the risk of traumatic injury to the uterus4
  • In trials assessing the efficacy of the TruClear™ system, on average 97% of endometrial polyps and 90% of uterine fibroids were successfully removed on first attempt1,3,5-7
  • Hysteroscopic removal of these pathologies has been shown to provide substantial to significant improvement in patient quality of life8-9

TruClear™ Retained Products of Conception Evacuation

  • Minimizes endometrial damage by evacuating RPOC under direct visualization
  • Captures tissue for histological confirmation
  • Potentially reduces the need for additional procedures as the system has demonstrated complete removal in over 94% of patients6
