The NovaSure Endometrial Ablation System^{®{;/sup} is designed to remove the endometrial lining in the uterine cavity of women who suffer from menorrhagia. The NovaSure disposable device consists of a 2-pole, 4 electrode array that is inserted into the uterine cavity and deployed. We have developed a COMSOL Multiphysics model of the NovaSure ablation process. The model utilized COMSOL Multiphysics modules (Version 3.5a) for DC conductive media to solve for the resistive heating from the RF energy, the bioheat transfer module to solve for the temperature distribution and the diffusion module to solve for the transport of water vapor out of the tissue.}
