ENDOMETRIAL ABLATION TECHNOLOGY
AEGEA Medical introduces the AEGEA Vapor SystemTM, an innovative solution for endometrial ablation to treat menorrhagia.
The system uses Adaptive Vapor Ablation and is the first endometrial ablation system specifically designed for use in the doctor’s office, allowing minimal anesthesia/analgesia and rapid recovery, says AEGEA Medical.
AEGEA Medical describes the AEGEA Vapor System as a fully automated safety monitoring and vapor delivery system that uses a slender, flexible Vapor Probe with SmartSealTM technology and the Integrity ProTM safety feature, for an added level of confidence. The 4-minute procedure time includes 2 minutes of vapor treatment and can be performed in patients with a wider range of uterine anatomies than indicated for use with currently available treatments, says AEGEA Medical.

NATURAL CYCLES
The FDA has cleared Natural Cycles as the first digital method of birth control in the United States. Delivered in the form of an app, Natural Cycles is a fertility awareness–based contraceptive that uses a sophisticated algorithm to accurately and conveniently determine a woman’s daily fertility based on basal body temperature.
That data builds into a personalized fertility indicator that informs her when she needs to use protection to minimize the chance of conception. The app also can be used to help plan a pregnancy when the time is right, according to Natural Cycles.
A clinical study showed that the efficacy of a contraceptive mobile application is higher than usually reported for traditional fertility awareness–based methods. The application may contribute to reducing the unmet need for contraception, says Natural Cycles.
