Smith & Nephew has launched Truclear Sim Morcellation Simulator to perform hysteroscopic morcellation, a procedure to remove intrauterine polyps and fibroids.
The Truclear System combines the visualization capabilities of a hysteroscope with minimally invasive tissue removal capabilities and aids in removing intrauterine polyps and fibroids.
Upon completion of the virtual procedure, the simulator demonstrates the gynecologist on various metrics including safety, pathology removal, procedure efficiency and visualization skills to help assess performance.
University of South Florida Health minimally invasive gynecologic surgery director and obstetrics and gynecology associate professor Larry Glazerman said simulator will enable medical students, residents and practicing physicians to perform virtual hysteroscopic morcellation polypectomies and myomectomies.
