Instruction Manual

McCartney Trans Vaginal Tube with 3 Way valve and Silicone Tie

INDICATIONS FOR USE / CLINICAL BENEFITS
The McCartney™ / ColpotomizOR Tube™ is used in laparoscopic gynecological procedures. It is intended for insertion under direct visualization for secondary port location. The device can be inserted trans-vaginally to establish path of entry for minimally invasive instruments, and it can be used as a template for dissection for gynecologic surgical procedures. The McCartney™ / ColpotomizOR Tube™ is a conduit for the extraction of specimens.
The device is anatomically shaped for atraumatic insertion. It allows definition and visualisation of vital structures around the cervix/uterus, enabling safer dissection, division, coagulation and suturing of the vaginal cuff. Patients benefit from less pain and discomfort, lower operative and post-operative risks and a faster post-operative recovery.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Device should not be used in:

• Patients with known or suspected pregnancy
• Patients with known or suspected uterine or tubal infection,
• Patients with early stage cervical malignancy undergoing a laparoscopic approach.

1. Select the appropriate McCartney™ / ColpotomizOR Tube™ size after vaginal examination.
2. Remove the Tube from its sterile packaging and inspect for damage caused by shipping. Discard if any damage is noted.
