The enhancements built into the Sonablate® 500 give the physicians delivering HIFU treatment unprecedented control over the entire process. This provides numerous benefits to prostate cancer patients, including:
  • Effective destruction of prostate cancer tissue
  • No hospital stay
  • No radiation exposure
  • A repeatable treatment option
  • A non-surgical treatment option
  • Treatment lasts between one and three hours
  • Only requires local anesthesia
  • Does not eliminate the option of pursuing further treatment.
Because physicians using the Sonablate® to deliver HIFU treatment have so much control over the treatment, they are able to tailor the procedure to the unique physiology of each patient. This means HIFU with the Sonablate® 500 is the most effective HIFU treatment available.

As with any medical procedure, HIFU with the Sonablate® 500 has benefits and risks that patients and their physicians must carefully weigh.
