Myoblate™

Hochfrequenzablation für uterusmyome

Uterine fibroids, also known as myomas, are very common benign tumours, especially in women in their 40s and early 50s. Myoblate™ can treat uterine fibroids safely and effectively.

Myoblate™ offers a minimally invasive, uterus preserving treatment for symptomatic fibroids up to 8 cm diameter. It is recommended that up to 5 fibroids can be treated in a single procedure.

Myoblate™ works efficiently alongside standard ultrasound systems and depending on clinical needs or preferences different ultrasound guided approaches can be used:

  • Transvaginal or Transcervical – for treatment of intramural or submucosal fibroids.
  • Laparoscopic – for treatment of subserosal fibroids

 How does Myoblate™ work?
(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 Myoblate™ electrode is attached to the transvaginal ultrasound probe using a non-conductive guide and inserted through the vaginal canal.

Step 3

The electrode is safely placed into the uterine fibroid and radiofrequency energy is delivered to treat it. Multiple ablations can be performed within a fibroid but a 1cm safety zone around the edge of the fibroid should always be maintained.

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.

 About Myoblate™

The Myoblate™ system combines the Mygen V-1000 generator and RFP-300 cooling pump with a choice of 2 hyperechoic, internally cooled electrodes.

The Myoblate™ fixed tip electrode has a 1.0cm active tip for repeated 1.0cm ablations. The variable tip electrode has a 0.5cm to 4cm active tip, controlled by a thumb lever, so the user can vary the size of the ablation zone between ablations.
