Elmedical provides an office-based system composed of a console and catheters designed for minimally invasive, non-ablative, high-temperature treatments (hyperthermia) for unmet urological diseases such as bladder cancer and prostatitis.
Bladder wall thermochemotherapy (BWT) provides chemotherapy instillation at a uniform and precise 44 to 44.5 degrees Celsius over the entire bladder lumen. To secure drug stability and achieve an exact and uniform temperature, BWT uses a carefully heated mitomycin C solution at a predetermined hyperthermia temperature that circulates through the bladder in a high flow, with the entire contents of the bladder replaced four to five times per minute. In BWT, the heat content of the circulating solution exceeds what is required to transfer to the thermally conductive bladder wall.
DuoThermia for chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome in males is the simultaneous hyperthermia treatment of the prostate and bladder administered by a heated balloon in the prostatic urethra and free circulation of a heated saline in the bladder.
Approximately 8,500 BWT and DuoThermia procedures have been successfully performed, with good patient tolerance both during and after the procedures.
