BPH treatment costs: understanding the economics.
Cost varies significantly between hospitals and patients. The total is determined by treatment approach, equipment type, length of stay, and anesthesia method — not a product's list price alone.
What drives BPH treatment cost
Depreciation or disposable cost
Bed, nursing, observation
Drugs, staffing, equipment
Procedure labor costs
Infection control, checkups
Cost tiers by procedure
| Procedure | Equipment | Consumables | Stay/Anesth. | Learning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TURP | Medium (resectoscope) | Standard loop | Inpatient, general/spinal | Established |
| Laser | High (laser gen.) | Disposable fiber | Inpatient, general | Longer |
| UroLift | Medium (dedicated tool) | Disposable implants | Day, local | Moderate |
| Rezum | Medium (generator) | Disposable needle | Day, local | Moderate |
| Nexusuro | Low (no generator) | Disposable balloon catheter | Day, local | Short |
Relative comparison, not specific pricing. Actual costs depend on local systems.
Nexusuro cost structure
Low equipment investment
No high-value laser, RF, or steam generator. Platform investment significantly below most MIST devices.
Streamlined consumables
Single-use balloon catheter. Competitive unit cost. Low inventory pressure.
Day surgery, local anesthesia
Most patients under local. Significantly reduces anesthesia costs.
Short learning curve
Experienced endoscopists become independent after brief training.
Business significance
Accelerated ROI — low investment, short training
Free bed/OR capacity — day surgery
Expand BPH access — lower cost barrier
Multi-system distribution
ROI framework
- Core variables
- Equipment price, consumable unit cost, procedure volume, per-procedure fee
- Key assumptions
- Expected volume, inpatient/anesthesia cost savings
- Payback period
- Reasonable payback in medium-sized hospitals under typical volumes
Cost FAQ
Is patient cost fixed?
No. Affected by hospital tier, region, anesthesia method.
How much variation between hospitals?
Same procedure costs can vary multiples across hospitals.
Does this product lower patient costs?
Economics come from scheme structure. Consult local hospital or partner for specifics.
Cost data is general market reference only. Treatment decisions must be evaluated by a licensed physician.
