Elmedical looks for distributors world wide
|
|
|
|
Technology:
Elmedical proprietary technologies UniThermia and DuoThermia perform non-ablative high temperature treatmeants (hyperthermia) based on conductive heat which is better controlled than other forms of energy and administered precisely and uniformly.
UniThermia and DuoThermia enable the synergistic effect of hyperthermia combined with drug instillation into the bladder.

Circulation of drug-solution in the bladder
|
|
Drug-heat synergy enhances drug uptake by cells due to:
· Increased blood-flow and improved
intracellular drug distribution.
· Increased permeability of the cell
membrane.
· Increased drug reaction rate and
metabolism.
|
 |
|
In bladder cancer, this synergy also includes inhibition of DNA repair in damaged neoplastic cells.
Office-based procedures with best patient's tolerance:
· No pain; performed with topical anesthesia only.
· No post-procedure Catheter.
· No rectal, bladder or tissue temperature probes.
· Patient returns back to normal activities the same day.
