Can a disposable scope make prostate surgery faster and cheaper?
NCT ID NCT07728071
First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests a single-use surgical tool called the Aulea Veloxion™ resectoscope for treating enlarged prostate (BPH). The device is designed to shorten surgery time and reduce costs compared to standard reusable scopes. Twenty men aged 30–70 with symptomatic BPH will undergo the procedure, and researchers will measure how long it takes and how much it costs versus a historical benchmark.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a disposable resectoscope system called Aulea Veloxion™ used during TURP surgery
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this disposable system could make BPH surgery faster, cheaper, and safer by reducing infection risk from reusable tools.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-site study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The device is new and its benefits over standard tools are unproven.
