Intraperitoneal hyperthermia system Flexiper™

locoregional

FLEXIPER Unit for oncologic locoregional normo/hyperthermic treatments FLEXIPER is a stand-alone instrument to perform Chemohyperthermic procedures in local or regional compartments of the human body Flexiper can carry out several Chemohyperthermia procedures : Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Perioperative Chemotherapy (HIPEC) Removal of ascitys with Intraperitoneal “lavage” Isolated Limb Perfusion Hypossic perfusion with extracorporeal circulation Among these the most common procedure is the HIPEC to treat the Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Regional hyperthermic chemotherapy is intended for the perioperative treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis caused mainly by colon and ovarian cancer. For long time Peritoneal Carcinomatosis has been considered an incurable pathology. The advancements in both surgical techniques and intensive cares has lead to new approaches to treat this pathology one of the most successful being the cytoreductive surgery in combination with perioperative chemohyperthermia. The procedure consists in the removal of the whole parietal peritoneum and of several abdominal organs. Then the abdomen is treated with Perioperative Intraperitoneal Chemohypertermia, whose goal is to remove tumor cells and microscopic cancers seed from the abdomen. Chemohyperthermia consists in a “washing” of the abdominal cavity , executed through the insertion of several drains into the abdominal surface. Some are for infusing liquid inside the abdominal cavity and other for removing it.
