After 14 years of treating AUB, the NovaSure endometrial ablation system has time tested and durable results. The proven high rate of success, amenorrhea and patient satisfaction are not only a testament to the 2 million women treated but also are confirmed through long-standing, extensive, prospective clinical data, as represented below.

METHODOLOGY: Ten prospective studies, six single-arm NovaSure trials and four randomized controlled trials were reviewed for amenorrhea rate, success rate and patient satisfaction. The follow-up period for these measures was 12 months. Studies were chosen based on similar protocols and endpoints.
