Urethral Stricture
With MukoCell®, there now exists a treatment option for urethral repair that uses the patient’s own cells as a transplant, a truly gentle alternative to conventional transplantation solutions. The replacement tissue is cultured from the patient’s own cells, incorporated into the surrounding tissue within a short amount of time and develops into new, fully functional urethral tissue.
