Radiofrequency Ablation (RF) for the treatment of Uterine Fibroids

Types of Uterine Fibroids and Ways to Approach

Myoblate™ offers a multi-modal approach. Choose the best approach depending on the patient pathology, fibroid type and clinical preferences, and tailor the procedure to each patient.

MYOBLATE™ RF Electrode

The fixed tip electrode features a hyperechoic tip for enhanced visibility and identification under ultrasound. It has a 1.0cm active tip length for a fixed size ablation zone.

Ultrasound Probe Needle Guide

The non-conductive guide allows the electrode to be inserted parallel to the ultrasound and facilitates fibroid targeting. It helps to target the uterine fibroid, features a Universal fit, is disposable and easy to use

Procedure Steps Transvaginal Approach

STEP 1

The physician uses the ultrasound system to confirm the size and location of the uterine fibroid(s).

STEP 2

After detecting the fibroids, the RF electrode is attached to the transvaginal ultrasound probe using a non-conductive guide and inserted through the vaginal canal.

STEP 3

The RF Electrode is safely placed into the uterine fibroid and radiofrequency energy is delivered to treat it.

STEP 4

After confirming that all fibroids are treated, the electrode is removed. Patients are normally released within a few hours, and experience progressive symptom relief and continual improvement over time.
