At Last, A Breakthrough Treatment for Strictures

Current endoscopic anterior urethral stricture treatments are common practice and often ineffective, leading to multiple repeat procedures with diminishing results.²

Optilume® is an effective alternative to traditional endoscopic stricture treatments, offering minimally invasive, immediate relief.¹ Optilume® works by inhibiting new scar tissue growth that often recurs after dilations or direct visual internal urethrotomy (DVIU).

All this in a simple out-patient procedure.

How Durable Are the Outcomes?

Optilume® has been studied in three clinical trials to date. Patients treated with Optilume® in these studies experienced these results:

• 73% of patients treated with Optilume did not require further stricture treatment 5 years after their Optilume® procedure​³
• Optilume® increased urinary flow rate (Qmax) by 298%^​1
• Optilume® decreased symptom severity scores for patients by 71%¹
