Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Vortx Rx - Histotripsy BPH Device	Non-invasive histotripsy treatment / therapy to be delivered by surgeon using very low duty cycle ultrasound pulses from outside the patient's body. These pulses form a bubble cloud at the focal area within the prostate which mechanically breaks up the cellular structure of the soft tissue. During treatment, a surgeon is able to direct the bubble cloud throughout the targeted volume using controls located on the device console and using the real-time ultrasound for visualization feedback and control of the bubble cloud location.
