DISPOSABLE HANDHELD RESECTOR
Distal Access offers nationwide availability of the RESECTR™ 9 French / 3.0 mm High- Performance Disposable Tissue Resector, a disposable, nonpowered, handheld, and hand-driven system designed to combine the benefits of basic manual devices and complex electro-mechanical systems.
The RESECTR platform is “ready-to-use,” says Distal Access, giving clinicians an important tool to see-and-treat lesions in the hospital, clinic, or office. Starting at the cutting tip, aspiration pulls tissue samples into the cutting window where oscillating blades are controlled by the clinician’s index finger and hand. Clinicians can increase or decrease oscillation and cutting based on what they see and feel during the procedure.
According to Distal Access, for small tissue samples, resection time with the RESECTR can be similar to that with electromechanical devices, with a significantly lower cost. The RESECTR is compatible with available fluid management systems and endoscopic devices.

PREDICTIVE TOOL FOR PRETERM BIRTH RISK
Sera Prognostics announced that its PreTRM® Test is the first and only clinically validated blood test to predict preterm birth risk in asymptomatic, singleton pregnancies.
Premature birth, defined as birth before 37 weeks, is the leading cause of death and illness in newborns and is associated with an increased risk of major long-term complications. Previously, the 2 best traditional predictors of premature birth were prior preterm birth history and short cervical length, but these identify only a small percentage of women who deliver early, asserts Sera Prognostics. Implemented during gestational weeks 19 and 20, the PreTRM test uses proteomic technology to measure and analyze 2 proteins in the blood that are highly predictive of preterm birth: IBP4, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 4, and SHBG, sex-hormone binding globulin.
According to Sera Prognostics, data from the 5,501-patient Proteomic Assessment of Preterm Risk (PAPR) study, recently published in American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, confirm that the test can help identify a high percentage of women who are at increased risk early in pregnancy before symptoms occur.
