SIMEDHealth Women’s Health has taken a step forward with the acquisition of a device called the EndoSee. This new technology makes the hysteroscopy procedure quicker, easier, and more effective. A hysteroscopy is an assessment of the inside cavity of the uterus, according to Dr. Osorio of SIMEDHealth Women’s Health. The EndoSee is a handheld device that lets doctors see the inside of the uterine cavity quicker and easier than ever before. According to Endosee.com, this device allows doctors to complete a hysteroscopy “in an average of 3 minutes.” Anesthesia was normally necessary for hysteroscopy before but, now with the EndoSee, no anesthesia is needed.
Prior to the EndoSee, patients normally were given a sedative and anesthesia. The procedure could have lasted anywhere between 5 minutes to an hour and required more time after to recover from the sedatives, anesthesia, and procedure itself.
