The HET bipolar system is an electrotherapy device that uses Hemorrhoid Energy Therapy to treat grade I and II internal hemorrhoids in a single procedure. This non-surgical treatment is completed quickly with minimal pain to the patient, and its low treatment temperature minimizes collateral tissue damage.
How the HET Bipolar System Works
The device targets the area above the dentate line and uses a combination of gentle hemorrhoid tissue compression and low thermal energy to shrink the hemorrhoids.
What to Expect
The procedure is performed as an outpatient procedure under mild anesthesia. You will be given a cleansing solution to drink or may be put on a clear liquid diet with laxatives prior to treatment. You should notice a reduction in size and bleeding immediately after treatment and continue to see improvement over the next few days following the procedure.
Benefits of the HET Bipolar System
Majority of patients who have undergone Hemorrhoid Energy Therapy with the HET bipolar system have reported little to no pain during and after the procedure. The risks of the treatment are minimal, and recovery is quick. You should be allowed to return to normal activities shortly after the procedure is performed.
