Meditrina Announces 510(k) Clearance for Gen 2 Bipolar RF Hysteroscopy System and Aveta Glo Bipolar RF Device
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Meditrina, a key leader in women's health medical devices, is thrilled to announce the FDA 510(k) clearance of its Gen 2 bipolar RF hysteroscopy system. This new system features bipolar radiofrequency technology, and a new bipolar RF device called the Aveta Glo, representing a significant advancement in minimally invasive gynecologic procedures.
The Aveta System 2.0 builds on the success of its first-generation system, introduced in 2019, allowing physicians full control of procedures from the hysteroscope handle with integrated resection and fluid management. The system is complimented by several pathology-optimized resection devices to treat soft to calcified intrauterine pathologies resulting in 10-minute¹ faster operating room turnover and significantly faster resection time improving the procedural and facility efficiency compared to existing modalities. The new System's bipolar radiofrequency technology allows for more controlled and efficient tissue removal with hemostasis, potentially improving patient outcomes. Additionally, the new bipolar RF device offers enhanced versatility, enabling physicians to perform a wider range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures including the ability to address fibroids with deeper myometrial wall penetration across any density tissue type and provide hemostasis, when needed, expanding Meditrina's market opportunity an additional $1.5B.
"The clearance of our Gen 2 system marks a significant milestone for Meditrina and underscores our commitment to advancing women's health through innovative medical technologies," said Csaba Truckai, CEO of Meditrina. "We are dedicated to providing healthcare professionals with the tools they need to deliver the highest standard of care, and our new system exemplifies this mission by offering unparalleled performance."
