Hembo™: Innovation in Hemorrhoid Relief

Hembo™ is a painless, new 45-minute outpatient procedure performed by an interventional radiologist. It is done through an IV in the arm or groin. A thin, coffee-straw-sized catheter is threaded over a hair-like wire into an artery. Using live X-ray guidance (angiography), the catheter is maneuvered into the arteries that supply blood to the hemorrhoids. Tiny, sand-like particles or coils are then injected to block the blood flow, eliminating rectal bleeding and shrinking the hemorrhoids. The entire procedure is completed without inserting anything into the anus or making any incisions. The procedure is covered by insurance.

Painless Procedure

The inner lining of the blood vessels has no pain receptors, so the patient cannot feel the catheter moving or the sand-like particles/coils.

Results in One Session

Unlike banding procedures or even surgical ligation, which may require multiple procedures, Hembo™ is usually a one-time treatment.
