A Disposable Operative Hysteroscopy System for quick, convenient diagnosis and treatment. The complete portable system for hysteroscopy.
What is hysteroscopy?
Hysteroscopy is a common and relatively quick procedure (typically between 5 and 30 minutes) that allows the doctor to look inside the patient’s uterus (womb). This can be performed using the LiNA OperåScope™ single-use operative hysteroscope. A hysteroscope is a thin tube with a camera that is inserted through the vagina and cervix to examine the uterus without incisions.
Why might you consider hysteroscopy?
- Abnormal bleeding (heavy periods, absence of your period, postmenopausal bleeding)
- Pelvic pain
- Infertility
- Biopsies
- Polyps
- Fibroids
- Removal of an intrauterine device (IUD)
- Scar tissue
Benefits of OperåScope hysteroscopy
- Relatively quick procedure
- Thin diameter minimises patient discomfort during procedure.
- Minimal or no anaesthetic is typically needed.
- Can be performed in the convenience of a doctor’s office.
- Single-use scope and instruments are never used on another patient.
- Device can be connected to a monitor so the doctor can show the patient any findings during the procedure.
What happens during the procedure?
The patient will be lying on the exam table in a similar position as a pap smear. In some cases the doctor may use a local anaesthetic (numbing agent) and may dilate (widen) the cervix to allow entry of the hysteroscope. The hysteroscope is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. A liquid solution is then slowly introduced into the uterus to provide visibility (some dampness may be felt). The doctor then has the ability to see and possibly treat conditions.
What happens after the procedure?
After the appointment most women can resume normal activities the next day, if not the same day. It is normal to have cramping and some bleeding for a few days after the procedure. The doctor will advise patients on any activities that should be avoided and for what duration.
How safe is hysteroscopy?
Hysteroscopy is a relatively safe procedure. However, like any procedure, there is a possibility of complications, which occur in less than 1% of procedures*. The doctor can help answer any questions you may have and provide further guidance.

“The LiNA OperåScopeTM has been a tremendous tool for my practice and, more importantly, for my patients. Being able to give patients results by spending less time, less anesthesia, and less money has been invaluable to patient satisfaction using the LiNA OperåScope™. My patients and I have loved the efficacy of the OperåScope™ and the immediate and conclusive results it has provided. I look forward to continue using the LiNA OperåScope™ as a safe, effective and patient centric device in my office.”
