Overview

TherMatrx® Office Thermo Therapy™ is an advanced transurethral microwave thermotherapy system designed for in-office treatment of mild to moderate symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Proven safe and effective, minimally invasive and clinically efficacious, TherMatrx requires only mild oral medications. 1

TherMatrx is a widely used in-office BPH thermotherapy treatment in the United States. Unlike surgical solutions for BPH, TherMatrx does not require cutting, heavy sedation or hospitalization. A single TherMatrx treatment administered in your office can provide lasting symptom relief.

What makes TherMatrx unique is the "dose optimization" that it brings to thermotherapy, delivering the optimal dose of heat needed for each patient to provide significant relief of BPH symptoms with minimal side effects and excellent in-office tolerance.
