Introduction to Endosee Advance

At Core Luxe, we are dedicated to offering the most advanced and effective medical technologies to provide the highest level of care for our patients. One of our innovative offerings is the Endosee Advance, a state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment tool designed to enhance women’s health.

What is Endosee Advance?

Endosee Advance is a portable, handheld hysteroscopy device that allows for direct visualization of the uterine cavity. Unlike traditional hysteroscopy methods, Endosee Advance is designed for use in an office setting, providing immediate results and reducing the need for more invasive procedures.

How Endosee Advance Works?

Endosee Advance combines a high-definition camera with a slim, flexible probe that can be easily inserted into the uterus. The device captures clear images and videos of the uterine lining, which can be viewed in real-time on a connected monitor. This allows healthcare providers to diagnose and treat various gynecological conditions with precision and efficiency.

Diagnostic Applications

Endosee Advance is particularly useful for diagnosing and treating conditions such as:

Abnormal uterine bleeding
Menstrual disorders
Pelvic pain
Infertility
Recurrent miscarriage

Identifiable Conditions

With Endosee Advance, healthcare providers can identify:

Polyps
Fibroids
Retained products of conception
Endometrial thickening or atrophy
Tissue in need of biopsy

Procedural Capabilities

Endosee Advance also enables the performance of several procedures, including:

Transection of intrauterine adhesions and septa
Polypectomy (pedunculated, < 2cm)
Removal of a retained IUD
Directed biopsy
Presurgical planning, identifying required time and tools needed for OR

Diagnostic Accuracy

Diagnostic hysteroscopy, such as with Endosee Advance, is more accurate than sonohysterography (SIS) and transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) in assessing endometrial pathology. Endosee Advance allows you to diagnose uterine focal pathology more accurately than endometrial biopsy alone.
