Dilatation catheter Optilume®

urethralballoondrug eluting

The Optilume® urethral drug-coated balloon was developed in response to severe patient and physician dissatisfaction with current stricture solutions. Some Laborie products may not be available in certain regions. Please contact your local Laborie Sales Representative to learn more about the products available to you. A Cutting Edge Solution to Solve the Dissatisfaction in Current Stricture Solutions The Optilume® technology combines mechanical dilation for immediate symptomatic relief with local drug delivery to maintain urethral patency. The semi-compliant balloon expands the tissue creating a mechanical balloon dilation effect rupturing the urethral mucosa and allowing direct, circumferential drug delivery to the exposed submucosa through micro-fissures across the length of the stricture.1,2 Rapid uptake of the highly lipophilic drug, paclitaxel, limits hyperactive cell proliferation and the fibrotic scar tissue generation that results in stricture recurrence. Providing Superior Results to Traditional Urethral Stricture Management By combining simple and effective balloon dilation with localized delivery of a proven antiproliferative drug3, the Optilume® technology provides superior results vs standard of care endoscopic management.1,2 Specifications Procedure Type: Anterior Urethral Stricture Treatment Balloon Lumen: Selection of 18Fr, 24Fr, 30Fr and 36Fr*.
