September is National Protate Awareness Month
Lumenis and Boston Scientific want to help you educate your patients about BPH
Despite increasing references to BPH symptoms in pop culture (HBO® “The Sopranos™”), on the big screen (recently released “Wild Hogs”), and in ads for BPH medications on TV and in magazines, many men and their partners still know very little about the condition and treatment options.
Most men still find BPH symptoms embarrassing to discuss, even with their physicians. And with the deluge of pharmaceutical advertising, many do not understand that BPH does not have to be perpetually managed with pills, but can be safely and effectively relieved with an outpatient procedure.
Lumenis and Boston Scientific are pleased to launch, in association with National Prostate Health Month, a new educational tools for your patients. These tools are designed to increase patients’ awareness of BPH, help them learn about HoLAP treatment, and hear from a patient and spouse about their successful experience with the laser procedure.
Communications Kit
The new HoLAP Communications Kit is designed to help raise BPH awareness and highlight your facility's use of the latest holmium laser technology to treat this condition and improve the quality of patient lives. The kit is packed with media relations tips and templates, referral source outreach information, and patient education materials including ads, newsletters and patient letters. Contact your local Boston Scientific Sales Representative to order your HoLAP Communications Kit.
Patient Education Video and Announcement
The New Treatment for Enlarged Prostate DVD and on line video features physician experts discussing BPH and the benefits of holmium laser treatment, and a patient and spouse sharing their satisfaction with the HoLAP laser procedure. The pocket sized Announcement [PDF] highlights the DVD contents and informs your patients about this new educational tool. Click to view video online.
