Help Improve Outcomes
Prolonged inflammation can impact Urology patients’ outcomes.
Clarix® is the answer.
Clarix 1K is a cryopreserved ultra-thick human birth tissue allograft used as an adjunct for surgical applications. Clarix 1K helps support a regenerative healing environment and the restoration of urinary and sexual function after Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP). 1-2
Optimal Patient Outcomes Matter.
At the time of surgery, give that one chance its best chance with Clarix.

The Proof is in the Evidence
Improved clinical outcomes are supported by our published clinical evidence in Urologic Oncology applications:
83% of patients achieved continence at 3-months when Clarix was used as an adjunct in RARP.1
75% of patients achieved potency at 6-months post-RARP with the use of Clarix.2
Clarix is an ultra-thick allograft providing ease of use in robotic procedures.

Oncological
01Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP)
- Patient: 52-year-old male, Gleason 7 (4+3) prostate cancer, PSA 4.5, no metastasis.
- Treatment: RARP with nerve sparing due to life expectancy and disease status. Clarix 1K used over NVBs.
- Outcome: Recovery of urinary and sexual function after RARP.
Ureteral Reconstruction
- Patient: 78-year-old male with worsening renal function and mild left flank pain, history of prostate cancer treated with brachytherapy and external beam radiation 9-years prior.
- Treatment: CT scan revealed left hydronephrosis and a stricture below the iliac artery; single-port robotic left ureterectomy with psoas hitch and reimplantation; anastomosis wrapped with ultra-thick AM (Clarix® 1K).
- Outcome: Discharged within 24-hours, Foley catheter removed at 7-days, ureteral stent removed at 4-weeks; no complications, improved renal function, and no hydronephrosis over 12-month follow-up.
Vesicovaginal Fistula
- Patient: 49-year-old female with a history of four cesarean surgeries and total abdominal hysterectomy for large fibroid uterus and menorrhagia.
- Treatment: Cystogram revealed a large bladder-vaginal fistula; cystoscopy identified two large fistulas and thinning of bladder mucosa; surgical reconstruction performed.
- Outcome: Discharged after one day, Foley catheter removed at 7-days post-op, maintained continence at 5-month follow-up, and patient was satisfied with the outcome.
