Ethicon, Inc.
Continues to Pioneer
Minimally Invasive
Surgical Advances
for Women
Ethicon, Inc. introduced
two important advances in
2006 that off er minimally
invasive alternatives to
common surgeries for
women. GYNECARE®TVT
SECUR™(above) is a new
mid-urethral sling to treat
female stress urinary
incontinence that features
a smaller mesh implant
and no skin exit incisions.
GYNECARE® MORCELLEX™
Tissue Morcellator
facilitates laparoscopic
supracervical hysterectomy
(LSH), which preserves the
cervix. This new surgical
tool is designed to minimize
some of the challenges
physicians can face when
performing this procedure.
GYNECARE® MORCELLEX™
can also be used to facilitate
laparoscopic myomectomy,
a procedure in which uterine
fi broids are removed.
Ethicon’s 2006
acquisition of Vascular
Control Systems, Inc.
added further innovations to
its women’s health portfolio.
The primary technology
gained is a uterine artery
occlusion treatment that
Ethicon is developing as
a less-invasive treatment for
fi broids and fi broid-related
symptoms.
Also in 2006, Ethicon
introduced ULTRAPRO®
Hernia System (UHS),
SURGIFLO™ Hemostatic
Matrix With FlexTip in the
U.S., and ETHICON OMNEX™
Surgical Sealant in Europe.
