biolitec AG presents new laser application for the gentle excision of myomas at the FIGO 2012

biolitec at World Congress of the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics in Rome at booth D17 – HOLA™-lasertherapy for myomas provides gentle and almost painless alternative to conventional methods – Workshop with simulator MyoSim on October 10th

Jena, 05. Oktober 2012 – This coming Sunday, the FIGO World Congress opens its doors. Already for the 20th time, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics holds its meeting which takes place every three years, this year in the eternal city of Rome. Until October 12th the interested professional audience will have the opportunity to meet up colleagues and to get to know the newest developments in the field of gynaecology. This is just the right context for biolitec AG to present its newest application: the worldwide leading specialist in medical laser technique presents HOLA (Hysteroscopic Outpatient Laser Applications) – the new minimally invasive method for the excision of myomas.

Myomas are often appearing benign tumours of the uterus, by which appr. every fourth or sixth woman of productive age is affected in Europe. Even though myomas in some cases evoke no symptoms, heavy bleedings as well as pain and disturbance in function of organs can appear. Up to now, myomas are usually removed during a surgical or radiologic procedure.

The new HOLA-therapy of biolitec removes myomas of the uterus minimally invasive and with little side effects. A special designed tip of the laser fiber enables contact vaporization of the myoma tissue. The hysteroscopic vaporesection does not have any impact on the lining muscle and enables treatment of even bigger myomas. Interested parties can familiarize with the method during a workshop at the FIGO on October 10th and test virtually the application of HOLATM with the simulator MyoSim. Everybody who cannot attend the workshop is recommended a visit of biolitec“s booth D17 at the FIGO in Rome.
