Single-use Device for Hemorrhoidal Disease Treatment by Angiologica BM srl from Italy

HemorPex System (HPS) is an innovative single-use device designed to help treat hemorrhoidal disease through dearterializing hemorrhoidopexy. Manufactured by the Italian company Angiologica BM srl, this revolutionary procedure offers patients a number of advantages over traditional treatments including minimal post-operative pain and quick recovery times. This technique can be performed without anaesthesia or with local anaesthesia, allowing the patient to return immediately to their activities.

Indications

The procedure performed with the use of HemorPex System (HPS) is indicated for all types of hemorrhoids, especially of 2nd and 3rd stage. The proposed procedure consists in the re-positioning of the hemorrhoidal cushions in their anatomical place by means of sutures which determine a plication of the mucosa and, at the same time, the ligature of the branches of the superior hemorrhoidal artery.

Procedure

HemorPex System (HPS) is composed of a fixed part that remains in contact with the anoderma and the sensible mucosa of the anal canal, as well as a rotating operative part that includes the window through which the suture stitches are posed. The patient is put in either the JACK-KNIFE position or in the surgeon's preferred position. Any type of anaesthesia is suitable, but it is possible to perform the procedure without anaesthesia, only intravenous sedation (Midazolam 2,5 mg). The instrument is introduced and positioned with the handle turned towards the intergluteal furrow: in this way the preset positions of the operative window will coincide with the hours 1 – 3 – 5 – 7 – 9 – 11. In these positions there are the 6 terminal branches of the superior hemorrhoidal artery. The hemorrhoidal nodules will be highlighted at the hours 3 (left lateral), 7 (right posterior) and 11 (right anterior). The suture stitches posed in these positions will therefore safely close the arteries and, at the same time, will treat the hemorrhoidal pedicles. It is advisable to start the procedure by positioning the operative window at the level of the most voluminous hemorrhoidal pedicle. On the mucosa protruding inside the window a suture stitch is posed. Distally from this stitch one or more passages of the needle are applied, depending on the entity of the prolapse, in order to obtain a plication. Keeping the instrument still, the external ring nut is rotated until the next position, and a similar suture is posed; the same for the following positions. The result will be immediately appreciable at the end of the procedure.

Conclusion

HemorPex System (HPS) is revolutionizing the treatment of hemorrhoidal disease. With its minimally invasive design and easy operation, the product manufactured by Angiologica BM srl from Italy has been proven safe and effective for treating all types of hemorrhoids. Patients who undergo the procedure have reported minimal post-operative pain and are able to quickly resume their daily activities.
