NOUVAG Morcellator and Morcellation Set: What the System Includes

About NOUVAG AG

NOUVAG AG is a Swiss manufacturer of surgical motor systems, handpieces, morcellators, suction and infiltration pumps. Founded in 1971, it is headquartered in Goldach on Lake Constance, with a branch in Konstanz, Germany, and delivers to about 120 countries. For buyers, a Swiss manufacturer with a long history in surgical motor systems means that service documentation and spare parts are usually well defined, but you should still confirm local service arrangements with the distributor.

For gynaecology, its main contribution is the morcellation system described below. The company's wider range can be explored on the NOUVAG brand page.

What is in the NOUVAG morcellation set

The morcellation set combines a basic set with a handle set. The basic set includes the TCM 3000 BL Morcellator control unit, a foot pedal, an Electronic Motor 21 and a spray-tube attachment. The handle set comprises the gear unit, handle, cutting tube, an optional protection tube or trocar sleeve and an obturator.

Morcellators are available in 12 mm and 15 mm diameters, so instrumentation can be matched to the case in laparoscopic hysterectomy and myoma enucleation. A department that handles both small fibroids and large uteri may choose to keep both diameters available.

• Optional protection tube or trocar sleeve
• 12 mm and 15 mm instrument diameters

TCM 3000 BL Morcellator: control and specifications

The TCM 3000 BL Morcellator is a compact control unit for laparoscopic tissue morcellation. The surgeon sets speed freely in VARIO mode from 50 to 1,000 rpm or switches to one of three predefined programs with fixed speed ranges.

Maximum torque is 100 Ncm (up to 80 Ncm at 200 to 400 rpm), with an INTRA (ISO 3964) motor coupling. The finely responsive foot switch is rated IPX8. The unit measures 120 x 180 x 110 mm, weighs 1.8 kg and draws 60 VA. Take care not to confuse it with the TCM 3000 BL motor system for skin grafting, which is a different product with a different speed range.

How to compare it with other morcellators

Use the neutral criteria in our power morcellator buying guide: working diameters, speed range, foot switch design, safety features, reprocessing method and compatibility with a containment bag.

Safety policy matters too. Read about power morcellation safety guidance and consider contained techniques such as in-bag morcellation with BOWA's MetraBag pro, while confirming that the shaft diameters match.

Training, maintenance and ordering

Ask NOUVAG's distributor for a hands-on demonstration, training for surgeons and scrub nurses, the reprocessing instructions for the handle components and the motor, and the preventive maintenance schedule. Plan for blade or tube replacement and spare parts, and agree who in the department checks the assembled set before each case.
