Optilume®
Optilume® BPH Catheter System for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
The Optilume® BPH Catheter System offers a new, minimally invasive way to relieve symptoms of BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia). This treatment provides quick and lasting relief for men experiencing urinary problems due to BPH.
Mechanical Dilation: The system uses a special balloon to gently widen the narrowed part of the prostate.
Paclitaxel Delivery: A medication called paclitaxel is applied to keep the prostate from narrowing again during healing.
No cutting, heating, burning, lasering, steaming, or implants involved!
