This high-quality instrument is manufactured with Swiss and German technology and is the first of its kind in Paraguay and the third in the region. Similar groups exist only in Chile and Brazil, pioneer countries in using this work method.
“The procedure is completely outpatient, pre-planned. AndThe patient comes to the service without the need to fast, does not require a peripheral line (use of anesthesia), and the procedure is performed lying on a stretcher. The process takes 20 to 30 minutes,” he pointed out.
