The patented
TherMatrx® system is a computer-controlled thermotherapy treatment
device that delivers microwave energy to the prostate for the treatment
of symptoms associated with BPH.
The system is comprised of two components: the mobile, stand-alone
TMX3000 operator console with touch-screen capability and the single-use
Rx-200 Treatment Catheter that delivers microwave energy to the
prostate. The system monitors all treatment parameters and automatically
adjusts the microwave energy as needed to achieve and maintain
thermo-therapeutic temperatures for the duration of the treatment.
- Clinically Proven Optimized Dose of Heat -
Treatment parameters, including microwave energy output, urethral and
rectal temperatures, and treatment time, are continuously monitored by
the TMX3000. The power output level is controlled by the computer, based
on pre-defined treatment parameters that have been shown to provide a
safe and effective treatment. The TMX3000 offers three protocol
selections, ranging from 38-62 minutes.
- Four Treatment Coil Lengths - The Rx-200
Treatment Catheter is available in four heating lengths: 2.0 cm, 2.5 cm,
3.5 cm and 4.5 cm. The four antennae lengths make it possible to target
treatment heat to the prostatic urethral area between the verumontanum
and bladder neck. The antenna is positioned 5 mm below the balloon to
ensure precise and consistent positioning within the targeted prostatic
tissue.
