Key Hydros Advantages and Operational Features

  • Primary Design Goal: Hydros is constructed to deliver faster Aquablation Therapy, higher efficiency for surgical staff, and readiness for future procedural advancements.

  • Reduction in Case Times:

    • Speeds up surgical case duration significantly.

    • Achieved through an optimized, highly efficient setup workflow, enhanced planning tools, and a streamlined intraoperative procedure experience.

  • Easier Staff Setup:

    • Features a streamlined, fully integrated tower containing built-in ultrasound hardware.

    • Supports shorter, highly repeatable learning curves across multidisciplinary operating room teams.

  • AI-Powered Treatment Planning:

    • Integrates FirstAssist AI™ technology.

    • Assists clinicians with accurate anatomy identification and supports the automated creation of patient-specific treatment plans.

  • Integrated Single-Use Cystoscope:

    • The cystoscope element is built directly into the disposable component of the system.

    • Eliminates the need for Sterile Processing Department (SPD) reprocessing, minimizing downtime and instrument turnover bottlenecks.

  • Future Applications in Prostate Cancer:

    • Engineered to host upcoming treatment capabilities for prostate cancer.

    • Extends the clinical scope of the Hydros platform beyond Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) management.
