The HF-Resection Electrodes are a bipolar instrument series designed and intended for use in endoscopic urological surgical procedures involving the resection, ablation or removal of soft tissue and where hemostatis is required. The specific urological indications include use in the prostate, bladder and bladder neck. The procedures for which the devices can be used are transurethral resection in saline (TURis), transurethral prostatectomy, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia, transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) or bladder neck, transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) and cystodiathermy. These devices are intended to be used in an irrigated environment.
These devices are not intended to be used to treating cancer of the prostate.
The HF-Resection Electrode for Plasma Vaporization is a bipolar instrument designed and intended for use in urological surgical procedures involving the vaporization, ablation, coagulation, cutting, removal of soft tissue and coagulation where hemostatis is required. The specific soft tissue indications include use in the prostate, bladder and bladder neck. The specific treatment indications include benign prostate hyperplasia BPH, bladder cancer, tumors, lesions and neoplasms. The specific urological indications include transurethral electrovaporization (TUVP, TVP, TUEVP), also known as transurethral vapor resection of the prostate (TUVRP) or transurethral vaporization in saline (TUVis). These devices are intended to be used in an irrigated environment.
These devices are not intended to be used in treating cancer of the prostate.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
