Option 1: morcellation with protective tube

1. Hysterectomy
Select the procedure for the hysterectomy in accordance with current medical standards.
2. Inserting cutting tube
Make sure that the Obturator is inside the cutting tube.
Make sure that the protective tube covers the blade on the cutting tube (set position to NO CUT; "PRO-
TECTED" is also shown on the black ring between the gear unit and protective tube).
Insert Morcellator (with Obturator) into an existing percutaneous access under visual control (endoscopy).
3. Using cutting tube
To use the cutting tube, rotate the protective
tube to uncover the blade of the cutting tube
(unprotected CUT position is displayed).
To cover the blade again, rotate the protective
tube (protected NO CUT position is displayed;
"PROTECTED" is also shown on the black ring be-
tween the gear unit and protective tube).
4. Inserting gripper
Pull the Obturator out of the protective tube.
Close the proximal opening of the gear unit with
the thumbs immediately.
Insert gripper carefully through the proximal
opening of the gear unit.
5. Removing tissue
Grip the tissue with the gripper under good visual
control (endoscopy).
The handle lock is set.
Start the motor of the Morcellator set.
Pull the tissue towards the rotating blade for
morcellation with the gripper.
As the cut progresses pull the gripper with the
tissue further out of the Morcellator.
Carefully pull the complete gripper with the sepa-
rated tissue out of the Morcellator and the pa-
tient. The retracted mouth must not touch the
blade of the cutting tube.
Repeat the process until the tissue has been
completely removed.
Make sure that the proximal opening of the seal
unit is closed immediately with the thumb when
there is no instrument in the Morcellator to pre-
vent large quantities of gas from escaping.
