Doyen Myoma Instrument

Description

Doyen Myoma Instrument

The Doyen myoma screw is a 17 cm corkscrew-type instrument for fibroid surgery. The surgeon twists it into a fibroid to hold it and lift it up.

Doyen myoma screw: how it works

First, the surgeon turns the spiral into the body of the myoma with a few steady rotations. Then a gentle upward pull raises the fibroid into view. So the team can dissect around it with better access.

Tip diameter

The 14 mm tip suits smaller fibroids and tighter spaces. By contrast, the 25 mm tip spreads its hold across a larger mass. Therefore, many surgeons keep both sizes on the tray for the same list.

Where it fits

Gynecologists use it during myomectomy and hysterectomy, in open or vaginal approaches. Also, it gives a firm hold where forceps may slip on smooth tissue. Plus, its 17 cm length keeps hands clear of the field.

Choosing a size

Match the tip to the size of the fibroid you expect to meet. For example, a large uterine mass calls for the 25 mm Doyen myoma screw. Meanwhile, the 14 mm tip suits smaller nodules and cramped working space.

Looking after Doyen myoma screw

Clean the spiral straight after surgery, because tissue can lodge between the turns. Use a narrow brush to reach each turn all the way to the point. Then dry the instrument and keep the point covered in storage to protect staff and steel.
