Smith & Nephew TruClear™ Hysteroscope Set | Operative 5.0 | 72203004

The Smith & Nephew TruClear™ platform is the premier solution for the mechanical removal of intrauterine pathologies, such as polyps, fibroids, and retained products of conception (RPOC). Unlike traditional electrosurgical resection, the TruClear system utilizes a mechanical approach that eliminates the risk of thermal energy discharge and gas emboli, significantly reducing the likelihood of intrauterine scarring (Asherman's Syndrome).

This specific set is built around the 5.0 mm Operative Hysteroscope, providing a modular "see-and-treat" environment that supports high-definition visualization and simultaneous tissue aspiration.

Key Performance Features

• Non-Thermal Tissue Removal: The TruClear handpiece and shaver system provide a purely mechanical resection. This preserves the integrity of the endometrium by avoiding the lateral thermal spread associated with loops or energy-based devices.

• Continuous Outflow Visualization: Features dedicated inflow and outflow channels. The system's proprietary suction control activates only during cutting, ensuring a clear field of view and maintaining uterine distention throughout the procedure.

• High-Definition 5.0 mm Optics: The 72202976 hysteroscope provides a 0° angled view with a rigid rod-lens system, delivering the clarity required for targeted resection of sessile or pedunculated lesions.

• Synchronous Aspiration: Integrated suction technology removes resected tissue fragments instantly, preventing "floating debris" from obscuring the surgical site and eliminating the need for multiple scope insertions.

• Modular Sheath Options: Includes both 5.6 Fr and 9.0 Fr sheaths, allowing the clinical team to tailor the diameter to the patient’s cervical anatomy and the specific volume of tissue removal required.

Clinical & Institutional Advantages

• "See-and-Treat" Versatility: The 5.0 mm scope diameter often allows for procedures to be performed with little to no cervical dilation, making it suitable for both the OR and advanced office-based settings.

• Preservation of Fertility: By avoiding thermal discharge, the TruClear system is the preferred choice for patients wishing to preserve uterine function and maximize future fertility chances.

• Procedural Speed: Simultaneous cutting and aspiration significantly reduce operative time compared to manual "grasp-and-remove" techniques.

• Inventory Reliability: This set represents an "Excellent" configuration where the optics have been verified for clarity (no scratches or cloudiness), ensuring immediate clinical readiness upon sterilization.

Ideal Applications

• Polypectomy: Precise removal of endometrial polyps.

• Myomectomy: Resection of Grade 0 and Grade 1 submucous myomas.

• RPOC Removal: Gentle evacuation of retained products of conception to minimize uterine trauma.

• Diagnostic Visualization: High-definition mapping of the uterine cavity for abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB).

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used — Excellent Condition.

• Optics: Verified clear and crisp; no internal cloudiness or distal lens scratches.

• Mechanical: Handpiece and sheath locking mechanisms have been inspected for secure fit and fluid-path integrity.

• Storage: Provided in the genuine 72203004 sterilization tray, ensuring protected transit and organized storage in the CSSD.
