Distal Access, a company with offices in Utah and Florida, is now offering a new tissue resection device that has just been used for the first time to remove a uterine polyp. The RESECTR is a fully mechanical device that doesn’t require an external generator or any other capital equipment.
It’s powered by the surgeon via the trigger on the handle, which spins the blades on the tip that cut into the tissue. This supposedly provides more control and feel when the mechanism is activated over electronically powered devices.
Using the RESECTR the surgeon can see and operate on the target tissue at the same time.
Dr. Keith Isaacson at the Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Newton, MA, the first person to use the device, said, “We need safe, accurate, and effective medical devices to perform uterine polyp resection,” said Dr. Isaacson. “The RESECTR is a simple manual surgical instrument that allowed me to target and efficiently remove the polyp during this procedure. It provides a benefit to patients in that the entire polyp can be removed under direct visualization in a very short period of time without the risk of bleeding or uterine perforation.”
