THE IMPACT
OF STRICTURES
ON YOUR LIFE
Current endoscopic stricture treatments
are uncomfortable and often ineffective,
leading to multiple repeat procedures
with diminishing results.
Optilume is an effective alternative
to traditional endoscopic stricture
treatments, offering minimally invasive,
immediate relief. Optilume works by
inhibiting new scar tissue growth that
often recurs after dilations or direct visual
internal urethrotomy (DVIU).
THE BALLOON

coated in medication engineered to

slow or stop stricture regrowth.
+ Similar balloons have successfully
prevented re-treatment in cardiovascular
procedures for several years.
+ The outpatient treatment is
performed in about 15 minutes.
