AHS adds the CRH O'Regan procedure to its treatment options.

Advanced Hemorrhoid Specialists is now providing an additional hemorrhoid treatment protocol that is clinically proven and utilizes the proprietary and patented CRH O’Regan System, which is effective, safe and painless

The CRH O’Regan System is only available to consumers through specially trained and licensed medical providers. This highly effective (99.1%), minimally invasive procedure is performed in the office in less than 60 seconds. This method offers a significant advance in the rubber band ligation technique for effective outpatient treatment of hemorrhoids. Unlike other techniques that use a metal clamp to grasp the hemorrhoid during banding, the CRH O’Regan System uses a smaller and gentler suction device to minimize discomfort and complications

"This method is faster, more accurate, and has virtually no downtime for patients, compared to traditional rubber-band ligation techniques," said Dr. David Gutman, lead physician of Advanced Hemorrhoid Specialists. "I am delighted to offer this additional procedure option that provides the patient with the finest pain-free care."

While other rubber-band ligation methods rely on re-usuable instrumentation, the patented CRH O’Regan System instrument is 100% disposable. This eliminates the risk of transferring infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis B and C from patient to patient due to inadequately sterilized instrumentation.

Similar to the infrared coagulation and Ultroid treatment options that are currently offered at Advanced Hemorrhoid Specialists, the CRH O'Regan Disposable Hemorrhoid Banding System requires no pre or post procedure pain medication, virtually no recovery time, and is covered by insurance.
