The next generation NovaSure system is designed to offer the same customized technology as Hologic's current NovaSure system trusted by physicians across the United States, but with even more control and confidence for the physician and more comfort for the patient. "We have worked closely with our customers to incorporate a number of physician and patient-focused enhancements resulting in a device designed to offer more leverage and control with significantly less manipulation. This next generation system is designed to provide the physician with improved procedure efficiency and offer the patient even greater comfort," said Steve Williamson, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Hologic GYN Surgical Products.
