HAL/RAR® System
One device. All kinds of advantages.
– New Bluetooth technology
– Improved light sources for better visibility
– Clearer Doppler signal for easier artery detection – Greater working space
– Treatment of the three main symptoms – bleeding, itching, and pain – with HAL
– Treatment of the prolapse with RAR
– Minimally-invasive
– Very little pain and a quick recovery
– Fewer intra-operative complications
– Fewer intra- and post-operative complications
