Hysterectomy It used to be that total abdominal hysterectomy (removal of the uterus and cervix through a large abdominal incision) was the only type of hysterectomy offered to women. But today, the development of improved surgical devices and innovative techniques allows for less invasive procedures that can remove the uterus but can sometimes allow patients to keep their cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.

In addition, the Biosurgicals franchise of ETHICON offers a variety of haemostatic products, including a human fibrin sealant, and a ready-to-use, disposable stainless steel cannula and stylet to deliver haemostatic agents to bleeding sites.

ETHICON also supplies a wide range of high-performing needles and sutures in a variety of materials including polyester fiber, silk, and nylon. Antibacterial ETHICON PLUS Sutures and a sterile, liquid topical skin adhesive for surgical incisions are also available.
