2.9mm Rigid Hysteroscope Endoscope Sheath

Description

The 2.9mm Rigid Hysteroscope Gynaecology Endoscope Sheath is an essential instrument in diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy procedures. Designed with precision and patient comfort in mind, this sheath allows gynaecologists to access the uterine cavity with minimal trauma. Its slim 2.9mm diameter and high-quality rigid construction make it ideal for both office and operative hysteroscopy, enabling clear visualization, fluid management, and efficient instrumentation passage.

This product is widely used in outpatient clinics, hospitals, and day-surgery units where minimally invasive gynaecologic interventions are performed.

 

Medical Process Explanation:

Procedure: Diagnostic or Operative Hysteroscopy

1. Patient Preparation:
   • The patient is positioned in the lithotomy position.
   • Sedation or local anaesthesia may be used depending on the setting and procedure type.
2. Introduction of the Hysteroscope:
   • The 2.9mm rigid hysteroscope is inserted transvaginally through the cervix using the sheath.
   • Saline or CO₂ is infused through the sheath to distend the uterine cavity for clear visualization.
3. Visualization:
   • The gynaecologist examines the cervical canal, uterine lining, and cavity for abnormalities such as fibroids, polyps, adhesions, or congenital anomalies.
4. Operative Intervention (if required):
   • Through the working channel of the sheath, instruments such as scissors, graspers, or biopsy forceps may be introduced to perform procedures like polypectomy, adhesiolysis, or endometrial biopsy.
5. Completion:
   • The cavity is rinsed, the hysteroscope is withdrawn, and post-procedure recovery begins.

2. Assembly:
   • Attach the 2.9mm rigid hysteroscope to the sheath.
   • Connect fluid inflow/outflow tubing if using a continuous flow system.
3. Patient Preparation:
   • Prepare patient per hysteroscopy protocol and ensure informed consent.
4. Procedure Execution:
   • Gently insert the instrument under direct vision.
   • Maintain fluid flow to distend the cavity.
   • Use accessory instruments through the channel if needed.
5. Disassembly and Cleaning:
   • Rinse thoroughly with enzymatic detergent.
   • Inspect for damage before re-sterilizing.
