How CoreTherm Works

CoreTherm® Thermal Therapy for BPH is a unique patented method that measures the actual core temperature in the prostate during the entire treatment and is a proven alternative to surgery and symptom-controlling medication.

CoreTherm® patient specific thermal therapy for BPH uses microwave-generated heat to destroy excess prostate tissue. With CoreTherm®, the physician regulates both the amount of microwave energy and the treatment time on an individual basis, based on the actual temperature measured in the prostate.

CoreTherm® uses a transurethral catheter containing a microwave antenna and an intraprostatic probe with three temperature sensors. Continuous monitoring of intraprostatic temperatures, intraprostatic blood flow rate, progressive destruction of targeted tissue, and adjustable microwave power enable the physician to tailor treatment to each patient.
