Combination of laparoscopy and cystoscopy, to view both sides of the bladder wall. With laparoscopic
instruments, the bladder wall is cleared for accessibility, the borders of the clinical target volume (CTV)
are marked by titanium clips, and three to four brachytherapy
catheters are positioned in parallel along the bladder wall. Both catheters' ends protrude from the
patient's skin.
- Unique catheter/needle system enables minimally invasive catheter placement
- State-of-the-art needle design for optimal maneuverability and precise placement on the bladder tumor
- Enables organ-sparing, laparoscopic procedures – supporting a patient friendly treatment and quick
recovery
"The Luneray catheter creates new opportunities to treat select bladder cancers in a
minimally invasive way."
