Fortis Hospital partners with Teleflex in India to launch UroLift Centre of Education
Bengaluru: Fortis Hospitals, Bengaluru has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of medical technologies to create UroLift Center of Education for South Asia in India.
The UroLiftTM System uses a minimally invasive approach to treating Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a common condition marked by bothersome urinary symptoms that can cause loss of productivity, depression, interrupted sleep, and decreased quality of life. The UroLiftTM System is the only leading BPH procedure that does not require heating, cutting, removal, or destruction of prostate tissue. The UroLiftTM System provides rapid symptom relief and preserves sexual function. Typically, no catheter is required after the treatment.
Dr Ashutosh Raghuvanshi, MD & CEO of Fortis Healthcare Limited remarked, “The healthcare landscape continues to evolve, and more minimally invasive therapies continue to emerge. At Fortis, we always strive to offer superior technologies to our patients. This educational initiative in association with Teleflex is another testament to our commitment to quality patient care.”
