New Treatment for Urethral Stricture

2022-01-16 11:18:08
Hi, I recently read about a new treatment for Urethral Stricture which has received FDA approval and is currently undergoing a 5year experimental study. This is by a company called Urotronic and is called Optilume Drug Coated Balloon. Is there any urologist who knows about this?
