Urologix Launches New CTC Advance Catheter at 2008 American Urological Association Annual Meeting
Urologix®, Inc. (NASDAQ:ULGX) announced today
it is launching its next generation Cooled ThermoTherapy™
(CTT) treatment catheter, CTC Advance™ at the
2008 American Urological Association Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida
being held May 17-22, 2008. Urologix is the pioneer of Cooled
ThermoTherapy for the treatment of enlarged prostate disease in the
comfortable setting of a physician’s office.
The CTC Advance microwave catheter is the latest advancement in Cooled
ThermoTherapy, a customizable and durable nonsurgical treatment for
enlarged prostate disease, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia
(BPH). The CTC Advance is the next step in the evolution of the
Company's treatment catheters. It builds on the proven safety, efficacy
and durability of the Urologix CTC catheter by improving flexibility and
increasing the cooled surface area proximal to the treatment area.
"The CTC Advance catheter is another improvement in cooled microwave
thermotherapy. It is easier to insert and the additional cooling helps
further preserve healthy urethral tissue. It demonstrates Urologix'
commitment to quality patient care and is another reason why I use their
microwave technology exclusively," said Dr. Robert Pugach, Medical
Director at Pacific Coast Urology.
The CTC Advance catheter works with both the Urologix CoolWave®
and Targis® control units. As compared to our
current CTC microwave catheter, CTC Advance is 72% more flexible in the
treatment area and provides 50% more cooled surface area proximal to the
treatment area. The CTC Advance microwave catheter has been used to
treat patients in the US during a pre-launch period since FDA approval
on March 31, 2008. Physician feedback during the pre-launch patient
treatments confirmed the improvements of CTC Advance.
"The launch of CTC Advance represents Urologix’
commitment to continuous improvement of our technology. CTC Advance is
the latest generation of Cooled ThermoTherapy which is a proven
alternative for the treatment of Enlarged Prostate Disease that offers
meaningful benefits to patients, physicians and payors as compared to
other treatment alternatives. The American Urological Association’s
annual meeting is an outstanding venue for our company to introduce the
CTC Advance microwave catheter to the Urologic community," stated
Mitchell Dann, Chairman and Interim CEO of Urologix.
