Mara is an endometrial ablation treatment that uses water vapor
to safely treat heavy menstrual bleeding, specifically designed for
use in the doctor’s office. Mara is a two-minute, in-office
treatment that ablates the lining of the uterus, the source of
heavy menstrual bleeding in women who have not reached menopause.
Heavy menstrual bleeding, also known as menorrhagia, is a common
condition about one-third of women seek treatment for during their
lifetimes1.
Clinical study data demonstrates that Mara safely and
effectively reduces heavy menstrual bleeding and improves a woman’s
quality of life. Mara treats patients with myomas, large cavities
and also provides post-ablation cavity access.
“I’d like to thank Maria Sainz and her team, CEO of AEGEA, for
her dedication to innovation in women’s health,” said Holly
Sheffield, President of CooperSurgical. “The Mara Water Vapor
Ablation System gives women a great option for a safe and
convenient in-office procedure to help with what can often be a
debilitating health issue.”
Mara Clinical Results
One year after treatment in an international, multi-center
pivotal clinical trial that enrolled 155 women, 93% of women
reported no to moderate bleeding2. Results also demonstrated the
following:
- 99% of patients experienced improvement in quality of
life3
- 91% of patients satisfied or very satisfied with
procedure2,3
- 93% said they would recommend it to a friend2
