For individuals and couples facing the emotional and physical challenges of infertility, finding clear answers is a critical first step. One of the most essential tools in the diagnostic process is the hysterosalpingography (HSG)—a minimally invasive imaging procedure that assesses the condition of the uterus and fallopian tubes. 

At Thomas Medical, we are proud to support fertility specialists and imaging centers with high-quality, ready-to-use HSG Procedure Kits that streamline care and enable accurate, timely diagnoses. 

What Is an HSG? 

An HSG (hysterosalpingography) is a fluoroscopy-based X-ray procedure that evaluates the uterine cavity and fallopian tube patency—two critical factors that influence a person’s ability to conceive. 

During the procedure: 

    • A contrast dye is introduced into the uterus via a catheter. 
    • X-ray images are taken to track the flow of dye through the uterus and fallopian tubes. 
    • If the dye flows freely, the tubes are open. If it doesn’t, it may indicate a blockage or anatomical abnormality. 

These insights can guide further treatment decisions, from surgical interventions to assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like IVF. 

 

The Role of Thomas Medical’s HSG Procedure Trays 

At Thomas Medical, we design and manufacture pre-packaged HSG Procedure Trays that include all the essential components needed for a successful hysterosalpingography. Our goal is to provide clinicians with a comprehensive, sterile, and efficient solution that improves workflow and patient experience. 

Key benefits of our HSG Trays: 

    • Convenience: All critical components—including HSG Catheter, PVP Solution, a speculum, drape, and more—are packaged together for easy use. 
    • Sterility: Each kit is sealed and ready for immediate use, reducing the risk of contamination. 
    • Efficiency: Save time and reduce errors with standardized, all-in-one kits. 
    • Clinical Compatibility: Designed for use with a range of imaging systems and contrast media. 

Why It Matters: Diagnosing Tubal Blockages 

Tubal factor infertility is one of the most common causes of infertility, accounting for approximately 25–35% of all cases. Blockages in the fallopian tubes can prevent the sperm from reaching the egg—or stop a fertilized egg from reaching the uterus. 

Common causes of tubal blockages include pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), endometriosis, previous abdominal or pelvic surgery, and ectopic pregnancy. According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), up to 12% of women with a history of PID will have infertility due to tubal damage. 

An HSG provides crucial insight into: 

    • Whether the fallopian tubes are open or obstructed 
    • Uterine abnormalities, such as fibroids, polyps, or adhesions 
    • Post-surgical or post-infection scarring 

Identifying these issues early can prevent unnecessary delays in treatment and help clinicians chart the most effective path forward.
