Overview

HET™ bipolar system for the treatment of grades I and II internal hemorrhoids([FOOTNOTE=Crawshaw BP, Russ AJ, Ermlich BO, Delaney CP, Champagne BJ. Prospective case series of a novel minimally invasive bipolar coagulation system in the treatment of grade I and II internal hemorrhoids. Surg Innov. 2016 Dec;23(6):581-585.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])

The HET™ bipolar system is a gentle, simple, and efficient([FOOTNOTE=Kantsevoy S, Bitner M. Nonsurgical treatment of actively bleeding internal hemorrhoids with a novel endoscopic device (with video). Gastrointest Endosc. 2013 Oct;78(4):649-653.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]) non-surgical treatment method for symptomatic grades I and II internal hemorrhoids.1

It's design allows treatment of all grade I and grade II internal hemorrhoids in one procedure.1 The treatment targets the area above the dentate line and its low treatment temperature minimizes collateral tissue damage.([FOOTNOTE=Piskun G, Tucker R. New bipolar tissue ligator combines constant tissue compression and temperature guidance: histologic study and implications for treatment of hemorrhoids. Med Devices (Auckl). 2012 Oct;5:89-96.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])

Hemorrhoid Energy Therapy, using the HET™ bipolar system, can be completed quickly with minimal pain to the patient.1,2

How is the HET™ bipolar system different than other hemorrhoid treatment options?​

Many hemorrhoid treatments, including banding and infrared coagulation, often require multiple procedures.([FOOTNOTE=Ganz RA.The evaluation and treatment of hemorrhoids: a guide for the gastroenterologist. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2013;11(6):593-603.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]),([FOOTNOTE=Rivadeneira DE, Steele SR, Ternent C et al. Practice parameters for the management of hemorrhoids (Revised 2010). Dis Colon Rectum. 2011;54:1059-64.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]) In contrast, HET™ bipolar system allows for hemorrhoid treatment in a single therapy session.2
