IPC Medical Corp. Launches ThermaVas Medical Garment
April 06, 2011 - United States Of America
IPC Medical Corp. is pleased to announce the official launch of its newest product, the ThermaVasTM at the 75th Annual Meeting of the Southeastern Section of the American Urology Association (SESAUA) in New Orleans, LA.
ThermaVasTM is a fully adjustable post-surgical medical garment worn discretely under clothes to provide comfortable localized cold therapy and support to the scrotal area, while allowing the patient to be completely mobile after surgery. There is currently no device on the market that addresses this need.
The primary side effects of the Vasectomy procedure that doctors regularly see are, uncomfortable scrotal swelling and localized pain that is generally reduced by application of cold therapy combined with support of the affected area. In all cases of scrotal surgeries, such as vasectomies, ice and support are uniformly recommended by physicians as standard post procedure care to inhibit swelling and ease discomfort. Urologists routinely advise patients to “wear an athletic supporter and put a bag of ice or frozen peas” on the affected area as standard post-operative care, often for many days.
“As you can well imagine, holding a bag of ice on the scrotum for any period of time is not only awkward, uncomfortable and inconvenient but also, renders the patient immobile as they try to balance an ice pack on their genitals for hours and sometimes days,” said Holly A. Ruma, President of IPC Medical Corp. “We are pleased and excited to offer this more comfortable, more convenient and most importantly more effective new post surgical relief option.”
