The Optilume system is an innovative solution for the treatment of urethral stricture.
Optilume is a next-generation medical device designed to treat urethral stricture in a minimally invasive, outpatient setting. It consists of a dilating balloon coated with a drug called paclitaxel.
During the procedure, the device is inserted into the urethra and inflated at the narrowed area, allowing it to open. Paclitaxel works by reducing scar tissue formation, lowering the risk of recurrence.
Placement of the device in the urethra
Expansion of the device balloon and dilation of the urethra
Release of the medication onto the urethral mucosa
After the procedure, it is normal to experience mild discomfort or a burning sensation when urinating for a few days. Recovery is usually quick, allowing a return to normal activities shortly.
Results may vary depending on each patient, the severity of the stricture, and previous treatments.
1
Performed under local or regional anesthesia
2
No hospital stay required in most cases
3
Fast, effective, and minimally invasive treatment
Optilume is particularly indicated for patients who have experienced recurrence after previous treatments such as dilations or internal urethrotomy.
