Preparing Your Office

The NovaSure Procedure is a simple, safe, and successful treatment for menorrhagia that can be performed in-office. Your patients can be treated for heavy menstrual bleeding without the need for IV Sedation. In your office, the patients can undergo the NovaSure Procedure in comfortable, familiar surroundings, rather than a hospital or surgical center. The flexibility of an in-office procedure will allow you to make and keep your own schedule.

A physician prepared to perform the NovaSure Procedure in-office should have space they can dedicate to surgical procedures.
