The large dimensions of the instrument (165 mm x 65 mm) ensure it is suitable for all uterus sizes, while the small diameter enables the loop to be introduced through a 5-mm trocar. This minimises the use of large 10-mm and 12- mm trocars. The first 165 mm of the loop are insulated. The remaining 15 mm on each side are exposed to create a monopolar cutting area of 30 mm in total. The loop is simply positioned around the uterus before monopolar electrosurgery is applied (blend 1 position - 100 to 130 Watt). The loop is then pulled back until the uterus is sectioned.
