  Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP)
Proven effective with strong clinical data for prostates of all sizes
       
  .  

Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) is a safe and effective BPH treatment option for prostates of all sizes. HoLEP involves enucleation of the median lobe, followed by the lateral lobes. The lobes are placed into the bladder for removal by morcellation.

HoLEP results are comparable to TURP and Open Prostatectomy

HoLEP is durable at 6 years 1

QOL, Qmax ml/s and IPSS outcomes at 6 years are comparable to outcomes at 1 year
HoLEP has fewer complications and lower re-operation rate 1,2,3,7,8,9,10
HoLEP and HoLAP are backed by strong clinical evidence

HoLAP/HoLEP are the most studied laser BPH treatments with the highest number of published randomized controlled trials

BENEFITS OF USING A VERSAPULSE LASER
  • The multi-specialty, multi-application platform offers superior cost effectiveness and yield a high return on investment
  • Most versatile laser systems for urology applications: BPH (BNI,TUIP, HoLAP, HoLEP, HoLRP), stones, tumors and strictures
  • Extensive clinical evidence; HoLAP and HoLEP have over 14 randomized controlled trials
  • Provide standard of care for treating BPH (HoLAP & HoLEP) and stones (in all locations): AUA and EAU support these as first line treatment options1
  • Precise and controlled cutting and ablation; penetrates just enough to ablate tissue without charring, causing deep thermal necrosis or collateral damage
  • Effective for minimally invasive procedures requiring soft tissue ablations, such as: BPH, stones, turbinate reduction and endometriosis

VERSAPULSE FAMILY OF LASERS

Superior solutions deliver outstanding benefits for you and your patients.

80 Watts Holmium/100 Watts Nd:YAG: A powerful combination
of two wavelengths that is ideal for short or long-duration procedures requiring high-energy.

100 Watt: The most powerful holmium laser available, this versatile
laser can handle it all; urology, gastroenterology, orthopedics and more.

60 Watt: This mid-power laser not only handles urologic applications,
but is also has the cutting power for other applications like orthopedics.

20 Watt: This system is an economical choice that works well for
low-power procedures like stones or tumors.
   
 

Treating the Whole Patient
     
   
Although the VersaPulse family of lasers are best known for their urologic treatments, they are also indicated for many other non-urological applications. Its multi-specialty capability yields a high return on investment for your hospital. When you choose a VersaPulse laser, you can be sure that your financial well-being is being protected.

EXCEPTIONAL VERSATILITY, EQUALS AMAZING VALUE

One system to treat multiple specialties including urology, gastroenterology, orthopedics, ENT and more, makes for a smart decision.
