TRILOGY – Locate. Ligate. Lift.

For surgeons, TRILOGY gives you the benefit of Doppler-ultrasound technology with no cables attached. Literally, with a Bluetooth connection between the unit and speaker, you can hear the system’s signals for precise, individual detection of hemorrhoidal arteries while enjoying absolute freedom to maneuver the unit and attached probe as required. In addition, the absence of a cable – which acts as an antenna for surrounding electromagnetic radiation – means the equipment is less sensitive to interference and the arteries can be heard more clearly than ever before.

For patients, HAL-RAR offers a safe and gentle alternative to conventional treatment methods that provides effective relief from all the symptoms of hemorrhoids, even in the more advanced stages. Artery ligation and mucopexy of prolapsing mucosa can be carried out in one procedure under local anestethic, depending on the individual patient and the prevailing healthcare system.

Facts

  • The Wi-3 HAL-RAR System enables precise detection of vessels (e.g. hemorrhoidal arteries) by means of Doppler ultrasound technology

  • The Wi-3 HAL-RAR System is a wireless system (battery-driven) and has a Bluetooth technology

  • Bright illumination of surgical area of interest inside the probes (due to three white LEDs)

  • The Wi-3 Arm supports ergonomic handling of the Wi-3 HAL-RAR Unit in the rectum

Benefits [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16]

  • Improved Quality of Life and patients’ satisfaction

  • Low risk of peri-operative (shortand long-term postoperative) pain

  • Less post-operative pain compared to hemorrhoidectomy

  • Shorter recovery time compared to hemorrhoidectomy

  • A minimally invasive surgery with a low risk of intra-operative complications which is suitable for ambulatory surgery

  • The ligation window in the probe is adequate and enables a proper manual ligation of detected arteries

  • An effective surgical method after failure of previous treatments
