PERITONEAL RECIRCULATION SYSTEM

PRS® has been designed as a closed circuit for peritoneal chemohyperthermia. The system is highly innovative, such as to allow completely automated control of chemotherapy fluid while ensuring coverage of all the organs concerned.

---

PRS® besides benefitting from all the conventional advantages of the “key-hole” technique, also replaces manual agitation at the end of a surgical procedure (in itself already very time-consuming) with the automatic agitation of CO2 molecules in a jacuzzi style system able to transport the chemo fluid homogeneously around the cavity.

---

The chemo fluid comes into contact with neither its administrators nor the external environment, guaranteeing a higher level of safety for both. The system is patented and is able to control the temperature of the chemo fluid when it enters the patient and when it leaves, considerably reducing the risk of temperature difference across the peritoneum.

---

The chemotherapy solution is pre-heated before being introduced into the cavity and is put into circulation at such a temperature as not to cause stress for the patient.

---

The PRS® system is compatible with all the HIPEC techniques::

---

• Open "coliseum"

• Standard closed

• Closed system with CO₂ based agitation₂

---

The system constantly monitors temperature and pressure

---

Optimum heat transfer to the interior of the cavity is ensured as well as uniform distribution of heat and of chemo fluid around all areas to be treated with HIPEC.
