The McCartney Access Tube is intended to be inserted transvaginally to establish a path of entry for minimally invasive instruments and as a template for dissection, while maintaining pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic hysterectomy. The instrument is indicated for use in laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomies. The instrument is also a conduit for the extraction of specimens.
Device Story
McCartney Access Tube is a sterile, single-use instrument for laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomies. Components include a silicone rubber tube (35mm or 45mm diameter), polypropylene body, and silicone rubber cap. The cap features two valves for 5mm and 10mm instrument access and a stopcock for peritoneal insufflation/desufflation and gas leakage control. The distal tube end is beveled with a textured surface for identification. Used by surgeons in an OR setting to establish a transvaginal entry path for minimally invasive instruments, serve as a dissection template, maintain pneumoperitoneum, and act as a conduit for specimen extraction.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: silicone rubber, polypropylene. Form factor: 35mm or 45mm diameter tube with beveled, textured distal end. Features: integrated stopcock for insufflation, dual-valve cap (5mm/10mm ports). Sterile, single-use. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy. Contraindicated when laparoscopic hysterectomy is contraindicated.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A culdoscope is a device designed to permit direct viewing of the organs within the peritoneum by a telescopic system introduced into the pelvic cavity through the posterior vaginal fornix. It is used to perform diagnostic and surgical procedures on the female genital organs. This generic type of device may include trocar and cannula, instruments used through an operating channel, scope preheaters, light source and cables, and component parts.

#### Device Description
The McCartney Access Tube is a sterile, single use instrument consisting of a silicone rubber tube, a polypropylene body and a silicone rubber cap. The McCartney Access Tube is available in 35mm and 45mm diameters. The instrument is packaged with a stopcock that can be inserted on the cap in order to insufflate and desufflate the peritoneum along with minizing gas leakage. The cap has two valves for 5mm and 10mm minimally invasive instrument access. The distal end of the silicone rubber tube is beveled and has a textured surface for internal identification.
#### Indications for Use
The McCartney Access Tube is intended to be inserted transvaginally to establish a path of entry for minimally invasive instruments and as a template for dissection, while maintaining pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic hysterectomy. The instrument is indicated for use in laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomies. The instrument is also a conduit for the extraction of specimens.
#### Contraindications:
The McCartney Access Tube is contraindicated when laparoscopic hysterectomy is contraindicated.
#### Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The McCartney Access Tube is similar to the predicate device in that it has a similar intended use. The McCartney Access Tube is different from the predicate device in that is a different design and constructed of different materials from the predicate device.
