Urology
Many urology conditions can have a major impact on the quality of a patient’s everyday life, and with an aging population, patient numbers are predicted to grow. On top of this, emergency readmission rates are common within urology, with some procedures seeing average 30-day readmission rates of 24% in the UK (1).
To manage growing demand, urology departments must remain at the forefront of technological advancements. Peptide technology can provide a suitable, efficient solution to manage bleeding (a common cause of readmissions) and help to speed up procedure times, whilst maintaining prioritisation of the patient.
