Hembo™: A Truly Innovative Option
Hembo™ is a painless new 45 min outpatient procedure performed by an Interventional Radiologist. It is performed via an IV in the arm or groin. A thin coffee straw-sized catheter is threaded over a hair-like wire into the artery. Using live x-ray guidance (Angiography), this catheter is maneuvered into the arteries supplying blood to the hemorrhoids. Next, tiny sand-like particles or coils are injected until all blood supply to the hemorrhoids is cut off, eliminating rectal bleeding and shrinking the hemorrhoids. The entire procedure is done without ever having to insert anything into the anus or having to make an incision, and the procedure is covered by insurance
Precision Procedure
Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization (Hembo™)

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.
Advantages of HEMBO
Minimally Invasive and Painless
Hembo™ requires no incisions, ensuring minimal pain and quick recovery.
Outpatient Procedure
Hembo™ is outpatient, with same-day discharge after recovery.
Preservation of Anal Anatomy
Hembo™ preserves anal canal, avoiding complications like incontinence or stenosis.
High Success Rate
80-85% of patients improve within 2-4 weeks; 90% report no bleeding.
