A combination of mechanical dilation with simultaneous delivery of paclitaxel to the dilated area, ensuring sustained urethral patency with immediate and long-lasting results.
Discover Optilume, the Drug-Coated-Balloon (DCB)
This is a groundbreaking and minimally invasive dilation system designed to provide a long-lasting solution for urethral strictures.
It dilates the narrowed sections of the urethra by applying radial pressure, creating micro-fissures where paclitaxel can act. Paclitaxel, the active pharmaceutical ingredient of Optilume, is embedded in the coating of the urethral Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB). Its cytostatic properties inhibit the proliferation and migration of smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts, as well as the secretion of extracellular matrix.
The combination of these effects prevents scar tissue formation and stricture recurrence, offering immediate and lasting symptom relief.
