Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Medical Devices
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Hysterosalpingography is crucial for diagnosing infertility.
  • Fallopian tube recanalization aims to restore fertility.
  • Existing devices have limitations in achieving optimal outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel device for hysterosalpingography and fallopian tube recanalization.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of the new device compared to a previous model.

Main Methods:

  • A new device with a sliding central shaft and acorn-shaped tip was developed.
  • The new device was used for catheterization in 14 women.
  • A fixed-shaft device was used for comparison in 8 women during the same period.

Main Results:

  • The new device achieved optimal results in all 14 women (100%).
  • The fixed-shaft device achieved optimal results in only 5 of 8 women (62%).
  • The new device demonstrated significantly higher efficacy.

Conclusions:

  • The developed sliding-shaft device is highly effective for hysterosalpingography and fallopian tube recanalization.
  • This innovation offers a superior alternative to fixed-shaft devices for reproductive procedures.
  • The device shows promise for improving infertility treatments.
