The main goal of this device is to ensure patient safety, improve visualization, and simplify the removal of the uterus while avoiding manipulation of the tumor, which is critically important to prevent the spread of malignant cells (metastasis).
The LiNA McCartney Tube™ is inserted transvaginally and serves as a "template" and protective barrier during the procedure. It allows the surgeon to clearly see the boundaries of the cervix and safely perform colpotomy (vaginal incision).
Without a manipulator: Unlike traditional methods, this device does not screw into the uterus and does not damage its tissues, which aligns with current recommendations (ESGE-SERGS, ESGO) for minimizing uterine manipulation in cervical and endometrial cancer.
Sealing: The silicone construction of the tube tightly adheres to the walls of the vagina, maintaining pneumoperitoneum (gas pressure in the abdominal cavity) even after vaginal incision.
Instrument channel: Equipped with a special cap with valves (5 mm and 10 mm), allowing the introduction of needles, sutures, or other instruments without gas loss.
