Use of PuraStat Following Aquablation to Determine if There is Change in Hematuria & Probability of Same Day Discharge (PuraStat)

August 24, 2026 updated by: Alexander Glaser, Endeavor Health

PuraStat for Aquablation Day Case (Use of PuraStat Following an Aquablation Procedure)

Randomized, single-blinded investigational study to assess the safety of PuraStat following the Aquablation procedure

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a device (PuraStat hydrogel and the syringe used to apply it - referred to as PuraStat, designed to help control bleeding after the subject's scheduled Aquablation procedure. To assess its effectiveness, investigators will take a picture of the color of your urethral Foley catheter and grade the amount of blood present 1-3 hours after surgery. Investigators will also examine whether the device helps subjects recover more quickly and be discharged the same day, which currently happens in only 1% of cases.
