Hologic has announced the release of NovaSure ADVANCED, the latest iteration of its global endometrial ablation (GEA) system for treating abnormal uterine bleeding.
Abnormal uterine bleeding affects one in five women and can be lifestyle-restricting. Endometrial ablation with NovaSure is a one-time procedure that has been shown to dramatically reduce or stop menstrual bleeding in 90 percent of women.
The system works by delivering radiofrequency energy to the endometrium and gently removing the lining of the uterus.

While previous versions of NovaSure had an 8mm diameter, NovaSure Advanced has a 6mm diameter which improves patient comfort and physician ease-of-use, while maintaining clinical efficacy and requiring less patient dilation.
The new NovaSure device is also designed with an acorn-shaped cervical seal with 13 percent more "working length" than the previous product, and is equipped with rounded tips that simplify insertion.
"In addition to the new system providing a high level of patient and physician satisfaction, it's important to note that the slender diameter will allow physicians to perform more procedures in-office," said Dr. Henrik Skensved, a consultant gynecologist from Denmark who was one of the first clinicians to use the new system, in a statement. "The introduction of the 6mm device gives physicians the ability to treat patients in a more comfortable setting, while maintaining the efficacy we have trusted from the NovaSure system for more than 10 years."
