Bipolar RF Technology for CPPS Treatment Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland,oftenresultinginswellingorpain.Theterm
prostatitis is defined as microscopic inflammation of the tissue of the prostate gland, which spans a broad
range of clinical conditions.
Overtheyears,prostatitishasbeensubdividedintoanumberof categories, but today commonly accepted variations of the
disease include nonbacterial, acute, and chronic. Prostatitis is a disease causing intense pain and discomfort to males between theagesof25-55.Existing treatments inpresentmarketareinsufficient in effectively relieving symptoms
Thelatestapproachtoprostatitistreatmentis"Thermotherapy"- a method of treating the prostate via heat which eithereliminatesoralleviatesprostatitissymptoms.Asafeandeffectivetreatment is theTempro thermal treatment,performedwiththe help of radio frequency waves, which create a controlled heat to the prostatic tissue.
TemprotreatmentpresentsaninnovativeapproachofthermalRF treatment. Tempro treatment offers a unique bipolar RF technology which leads to a personalized treatment for each patient according to its Prostatic Urethra Length (PUL). Tempro treatment is safeandeffectiveanddoesnotrequirecoolingsystemsorrectaltemperatureprobes.Temprothermaltreatmentshowed improved quality of life for many patients.
Temprothermotherapyofferstreatmentwithpain-sensitivityprofilesfortheindividualpatient.Thetreatmentmay be performed with high, medium or low heating profiles to maximize patient comfort during treatment. The treatment area is chosenaccording to theProstateUrethra Length (PUL) for localized treatment, byapplyingenergytodifferentelectrodes.Temprotreatmentincorporatesauniquecomputer controlledRFgeneratorwhichenablesbipolartreatment.Temprotreatmentprocedureisshortandsimple.
Unique FeaturesTheuniquefeaturesofTemproincludethe6-ringelectrode,mountedonasiliconecoated16 FR latex foley catheter. Three simultaneous temperature controlsmeasure the highestprostatetreatmenttemperatureduringtreatment.Thetemperaturetimegraphsareconstantlydisplayed on the screen, ensuring control over the treatment. Bipolar technology enables concentrated RF energy transmission to the prostatewithminimal energy delivery to the
surroundingtissue.RFenergyusedinTemproallowspredictableheatpatternswithouthotspots.Duetothesmall diameter of the treatment applicator, its insertion is smooth and painless.
