GreenLight Laser Therapy Creating A New Standard of Care

he GreenLight™ Laser Therapy is a treatment that combines the effectiveness of the traditional surgical procedure known as "Trans Urethral Resection of the Prostate" (TURP) with fewer side effects. 1

Freedom from BPH

GreenLight is suitable for most patients with an enlarged prostate. With over 200,000 procedures performed worldwide, the GreenLight procedure is creating a new standard of care — a standard that offers freedom from enlarged prostate symptoms.

Most patients return home a few short hours after the PVP procedure and can return to normal, non-strenuous activities within days. 3, 4, 11 The GreenLight laser system delivers the ultimate benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) solution — free from urinary symptoms, free from compromise, free to go!

  • Rapid urine flow improvement 5
  • Quick return to normal activities 3
