The McCartney Tube™
Product Information
The McCartney Tube™ is a unique single use device that enables surgeons to perform hysterectomies and other gynecological procedures laparoscopically.
The special design of the instrument facilitates improved visualization and reduces tumour seeded contamination risks during removal.
The soft curvature acts as a safe guide during sectioning of the uterus and ensures no trauma to the tissue, whilst the airtight valves prevent loss of pneumoperitoneum after colpotomy.
The Tube can also be used as a conduit for removing specimens during surgery. Additionally, the Tube provides a convenient entry for needle and suture into the pelvis for fast and simple suturing of the vaginal vault.
