Widely used in England, endometrial ablation has not been embraced
by many American surgeons who believe that these women would eventually
have to undergo a hysterectomy anyway. -- Cytyc Corporation (Nasdaq: CYTC), a leading
provider of surgical and diagnostic products targeting cancer
diagnostics and women's health, today announced that a new clinical
guideline for Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (HMB), published this month by
the UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE),
recommends endometrial ablation as preferable to hysterectomy for the
treatment of most women who suffer from heavy menstrual bleeding alone. Flores, President and Chief Executive Officer of MedicalCV,
added, "We believe that the addition of these seasoned medical
device executives will have a positive impact as we implement an
integrated marketing strategy of the ATRILAZE[TM] System for cardiac
tissue ablation and the SOLAR[TM] System, which is subject to FDA
clearance for soft tissue ablation. |
