TUR (transurethral resection) electrodes are used in RF (radio frequency) surgery: For TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) and TURB (transurethral resection of the bladder).
The medfein resection electrodes are available in all common versions (loop, ball, needle, etc.) and as monopolar and TURis/Plasma variants and are compatible with the resectoscopes and TUR electrodes of the established manufacturers.
enign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common urological disease in the man. There are several options available to the doctor for the surgical methods, most often transurethral resection. Thanks to advanced and improved techniques such as TURis/Plasma and bipolar procedures, there is currently no other treatment method that can replace transurethral resection as the standard method: It continues to be regarded as a “gold standard”.
In addition to the TURP, resection electrodes are also used in gynaecology for the removal of myoma tissues and polyps in bladders and uterus.
Depending on the indication, other versions (ball, roller, knife) are used in addition to the loop version.
Especially in the case of coagulation (as a haemostatic method), these versions are favoured over the loop version due to their larger surface.
