PROCEDURAL SOLUTIONS

Transradial UFE With HYDROPEARL™ Microspheres

Uterine fibroids account for 30% of the 600,000 women who undergo hysterectomies annually.1 Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive alternative to hysterectomy or myomectomy.

Treat More Patients7

  • Easier access site management
  • Reach visceral anatomy and beyond with longer access products
  • Patient-preferred

Increase Efficiencies7

  • Allows for same-day-discharge
  • Reduce costs and improve procedure time
  • Ease of access to vessel origins from above

Reduce Procedural Complications7

  • Less bleeding complications at the access site
  • Low risk for stroke
  • No reliance on internal closure device

 

TransRadial Artery Access (TRA) is proven to reduce associated bleeding and vascular complications. Using TRA in embolization procedures conveys proven benefits such as same day discharge opportunities, reduction in major bleeding complications, a readily accessible and easy to manage access site, and improved patient satisfaction.2-5

Terumo Interventional Systems is equipped to support your UFE procedure from access to embolization to closure.

Transradial UFE with HYDROPEARLTM Microspheres


Keep your patients in mind as you embolize. The unique formulation of HYDROPEARL Microspheres was exclusively developed to offer controlled and targeted embolization. HYDROPEARL Microspheres are tightly calibrated and indicated for embolization of uterine fibroids. This precise calibration may allow more predictable and targeted embolization.6-8
