ICE by RVF

The ultimate solution for optimizing your practice

ICE (Innovative Chips Extractor) is an innovative chip extractor designed to simplify hysteroscopic resections and guarantee a clean, empty cavity in no time! Compatible with our resectors, it rapidly evacuates resection chips from the uterine cavity, while limiting the risk of synechiae and cervical lacerations compared with alternative extraction solutions. Developed with experts in gynecology, under the impetus of Professor Fernandez, ICE has established itself as a solution that optimizes operating time, improves surgeon comfort and guarantees a safer surgical experience for the patient.

Technological innovation

A patent for gynecology

Inspired by the principle of the Ellick pear used in urology, ICE successfully transposes this concept to the field of gynecology, where no equivalent solution existed until now. This patented device redefines the standards of hysteroscopic resection, providing a concrete response to a long-unsatisfied need: extracting uterine shavings rapidly while ensuring a procedure that is more respectful of patient comfort.

Designed by and for surgeons

The fruit of close collaboration with experts in gynecology, ICE is a device designed around concrete needs in the field. Developed under the direction of Professor Fernandez, whose initials ICE bears, its design combines ergonomics, ease of use and performance. Every detail has been designed to facilitate the surgical gesture. ICE is thus part of an approach focused on surgeon comfort and patient safety, offering an intuitive and effective solution.

Patient well-being

A gentle, modern approach

Chip extraction during or at the end of resection has always been a delicate stage of hysteroscopic resection. Traditional methods often prove restrictive and potentially traumatic. When the curette is used, the procedure is performed blindly, increasing the risk of damage to the uterine wall and consequent post-operative synechiae. ICE offers a modern, safe alternative, designed to preserve the integrity of the uterine cavity.

A smooth, continuous surgical procedure

Chip extraction using the resector itself, in addition to being tedious, generates repeated ingress and egress into the uterine cavity, likely to cause cervical lacerations. Thanks to their innovative design, ICE inner liners combine perfectly with the outer liners of our ReseCare and MaxiCare resectors. This allows the surgeon to keep the outer sleeve in place throughout the procedure, whether during resection or chip extraction with ICE, for a smoother, more atraumatic procedure.

Time saving

Shavings extracted in seconds

With ICE, cleaning the uterine cavity becomes a quick and controlled step. Installation is performed in just a few intuitive gestures, and with two presses of the hand, the cavity is instantly emptied of shavings, residues and blood clots. Visibility is optimal for immediate resumption of the procedure. Swarf is collected in a dedicated basket, simplifying recovery for anatomopathological analysis.

Optimized workflow

ICE contributes to greater fluidity within the operating theatre. The surgeon can reduce operating time by up to a third, without compromising the precision or quality of the resection. This reduction in operating time is accompanied by shorter anesthesia, promoting patient comfort and recovery. By simplifying the chip extraction stage, ICE boosts the efficiency of medical teams and optimizes the organization of the operating day.

The essentials for using

What do you need to get the most out of your chip extractor? A few simple but essential elements are necessary to guarantee optimal performance and consistent results.

Delmont resector The ICE chip extractor is only compatible with our ReseCare and MaxiCare resectors.
Active suction A vacuum suction of at least 30 kPa is required, which can be provided either by an independent pump or by wall suction.
Irrigation pump Uterine pressure should be regulated using an irrigation pump capable of achieving and maintaining a minimum of 100mmHg.

Myomectomy and endometrectomy by Pr. Fernandez and Dr. Even

See the surgeons in action during a resection performed with ReseCare, which left the uterine cavity filled with shavings and blood, impairing operative vision. The surgeons used ICE, the chip extractor, after the myomectomy and at the end of the procedure. In just a few seconds, the extractor is connected to its inner sleeve, which is itself inserted into the outer sleeve of the resector that remains in place. With just three strokes of the hand, the shavings are collected, the cavity emptied and vision restored.
