There are an estimated 10 million infertile women in the United States today and up to 35% suffer from female fallopian tube disorders. The most commonly performed procedure to determine fallopian tube patency (open or blocked) is a fluoroscopic hysterosalpingogram (HSG), a procedure usually performed by a radiologist in an x-ray suite until now.
It is universally recognized that an office-based method of assessing tubal patency would be a significant advancement. A Sono HSG may be an ideal screening tool as it utilizes existing ultrasound equipment in a gynecologist's office while avoiding radiation exposure.
FemVue works by instilling a non-allergenic mixture of saline and air into the fallopian tubes that is visible under ultrasound, allowing your physician to provide you with immediate results of the procedure.
Sono HSG with FemVue provides a safe, simple, and convenient procedure that is performed by a gynecologist or infertility specialist.
