TBEA destroys the inner layers of the uterus by transferring heat from heated liquid within a balloon inserted into the uterine cavity. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The two devices available in Australia, Cavaterm and Thermachoice, both involve an electronic controller, a single-use silicone or latex balloon catheter housing a heating element and two thermocouples, and an umbilical cable. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

TBEA cannot be used on women with large or irregular uterine cavities because the balloon must be in direct contact with the uterine wall to cause ablation.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Cavaterm is contraindicated for women whose uterine cavity is more than 10 cm long (from the internal os to the fundus) <\/span><\/p>\n

Thermachoice is contraindicated for women whose uterine cavity is more than 12 cm long, and for those who have a latex allergy. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

TBEA is also contraindicated if classical caesarean section (vertical midline incision in the upper segment of the uterus) has been performed, or if other uterine surgery has left a scar where the uterine wall is less than 8 mm thick. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The use of endometrial thinning agents before TBEA is not recommended.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
