Patient Selection & Counseling
Before using NovaSure Endometrial Ablation:
- Always screen and evaluate patients for etiology of bleeding
- Consult the NovaSure instructions for use
- Attain documented diagnosis of menorrhagia secondary
to other underlying causes
- Verify that uterine cavity is normal/unobstructed
Use saline infusion sonography, hysteroscopy, or hysterosalpingography to rule out large fibroids, large polyps, and congenital abnormalities
- Take uterine sound measurement to assure depth <10 cm
- Verify uterine cavity length >4 cm and width >2.5 cm
- Patients must not have a suspected or confirmed uterine malignancy within the last 5 years as confirmed by histology
Important points to discuss with your patients about the NovaSure Procedure:
- NovaSure Endometrial Ablation is not for women who plan to have a future pregnancy
- The NovaSure Procedure is not a sterilization technique; contraception or sterilization should be used after the procedure
- The goal of this procedure is a reduction of bleeding to normal levels; in some cases, total cessation of bleeding can occur
