Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The purpose of this research study is to assess the safety and feasibility of a new device designed for the ablation of uterine tissue.

Subjects will undergo a procedure where a device which has an applicator will be used to deliver energy to the uterus from inside the body, immediately prior to a planned, elective benign hysterectomy. Tissue extracted during the planned resection will be analysed to understand characteristics of the energy delivered to the tissue. Procedures will occur in an operating room and will be performed by qualified physicians. The study procedure will last for approximately 30 minutes. Participants will be followed up approximately 30 days following the procedure.

Details of the intervention ingredients will be provided on the ANZCTR registry at the end of IP assessment.
