Optilume Balloon Procedure in Hauppauge and Bay Shore, NY
Optilume® Urethral Drug-Coated Balloon for the treatment of Anterior Urethral Stricture
A Safe, Simple and Durable Treatment for Urethral Stricture
Break the stricture cycle
The Optilume® urethral drug-coated balloon was developed in response to severe patient and physician dissatisfaction with current stricture solutions.
A Cutting Edge Solution to Solve the Dissatisfaction in Current Stricture Solutions
The Optilume® technology combines mechanical dilation for immediate symptomatic relief with local drug delivery to maintain urethral patency.
The semi-compliant balloon expands the tissue creating a mechanical balloon dilation effect rupturing the urethral mucosa and allowing direct, circumferential drug delivery to the exposed submucosa through micro-fissures across the length of the stricture.¹
Rapid uptake of the highly lipophilic drug, paclitaxel, limits hyperactive cell proliferation and the fibrotic scar tissue generation that results in stricture recurrence.
Our trained reconstructive urologist, Dr. Roger Khouri, offers the Optilume® balloon procedure at his clinic in Hauppauge and Bay Shore, NY. Call our clinic today at (631) 273-1258 to request a consultation.

How durable are the outcomes?
At 3 years, durability continued with 77% FFRI* ¹, with a 176% increase in Qmax* (Baseline 5.1, 3-year 14.1) and a 65% decrease in IPSS* (Baseline 25.2, 3-year 8.8). Qmax & IPSS are using FCF* rates – Includes worst observed value carried forward for subjects undergoing repeat intervention of the study stricture (i.e. clinical failures).
Simple | Easily achieve relief
Safe | Proven on a difficult patient population³
Durable | The breakthrough treatment to break the stricture cycle
For patients who have failed prior endoscopic treatment, today there is Optilume® — a breakthrough urethral drug-coated balloon treatment that dilates the urethral lumen and delivers paclitaxel directly to the stricture, significantly reducing the incidence of stricture recurrence.³
How Optilume® Works
The Optilume® procedure is similar to traditional mechanical dilation methods, making it simple to learn and perform. The semi-compliant balloon mechanically dilates and expands the urethral lumen, creating micro-fissures in the urothelium which facilitate circumferential drug delivery across the length of the urethral stricture. By combining simple and effective balloon dilation with localized delivery of a proven antiproliferative drug² – The Optilume® Urethral Drug Coated Balloon provides long-term relief from stricture recurrence¹.
