What is Ultroid? Ultroid : A Therapeutic Monopolar Hemorrhoid Management System Ultroid treats HD with a small probe that causes a gentle electrolysis and results in progressive, complete and proven HD shrinkage. Average case requires one treatment. Many sufferes have more than one hemorrhoid, additional treatments may be required. Ultroid provides a safe and effective alternative to surgery for HD patients. Ultroid is quick, easy, painless and proven.
Ultroid Comparison Treatment Quick: Performed in about 10 minutes Performed in office Treats All Grades of internal HD Painless No recovery time required Non-invasive: no cutting or burning No preparation or anesthesia Hemorrhoidectomy (surgery) Rubber Band Ligation (Minor Surgery) Stapling (PPH) (Surgery) Laser (IRC)
How Ultroid Works The Effects ofultroid : Ultroid applies a very low direct current to the base of the hemorrhoid. Ultroid causes a reaction in tissues that results in regression of the hemorrhoid. In theory, the effect of Ultroid is a chemical which results in thrombosis of the feeding vessel. The actual mechanism of action to bring about resolution of hemorrhoidal disease is currently under research in the laboratories of the University of South Florida.
