Endo will launch the experience at the American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Meeting, the largest gathering of urologists in the world, which takes place April 26-29, 2025.
"We know that healthcare providers value hands-on approaches to learning, and technology like the Spatial Computing Injection Simulator can make a huge difference for the surgeons and advanced practice providers who treat Peyronie's disease," said Justin Mattice, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Branded Specialty at Endo. "With a mix of tactical practice, videos of real procedures, and the inclusion of practical information, the simulator is an example of innovation that can enhance patient care."
The Spatial Computing Injection Simulator was designed to help urology specialists refine their injection technique in the penis for the administration of XIAFLEX® (collagenase clostridium histolyticum), the only FDA-approved nonsurgical treatment for Peyronie's disease.
Do not receive XIAFLEX® if you have had an allergic reaction to collagenase clostridium histolyticum or any of the ingredients in XIAFLEX®, or to any other collagenase product.
During the immersive, 20-minute Spatial Computing Injection Simulator experience, urology specialists receive hands-on practice on product reconstitution and injection angles, watch procedures in action, practice their injection technique on the penile model, and acquire information on the post-injection process.
This can help them refine their technique for the treatment of real patients with XIAFLEX, which represents an important treatment option to help appropriate patients.1
This is the second time Endo has used the power of spatial computing (also called "mixed reality") to create an immersive learning environment for healthcare providers. The first was developed for hand specialists who treat patients with Dupuytren's contracture.
Endo worked with technology agency Lucid Dream to create the Apple Vision Pro app and spatial computing experience.
About Peyronie's Disease:
Peyronie's disease (PD) is a condition in which a buildup of fibrous scar tissue causes a curvature deformity of the penis. This curvature can be bothersome during arousal and intimacy.2 It is estimated that PD can affect as many as 1 in 10 men in the U.S.,3 but diagnosis rates remain low because men with PD may be too uncomfortable to speak up and get help.4
Do not receive XIAFLEX if:
the Peyronie's plaque to be treated involves the "tube" that your urine passes through (urethra).
you are allergic to collagenase clostridium histolyticum or any of the ingredients in XIAFLEX, or to any other collagenase product. See the end of the Medication Guide for a complete list of ingredients in XIAFLEX.
XIAFLEX can cause serious side effects, including:
Penile fracture (corporal rupture) or other serious injury to the penis. Receiving an injection of XIAFLEX may cause damage to the tubes in your penis called the corpora. After treatment with XIAFLEX, one of these tubes may break during an erection. This is called a corporal rupture or penile fracture. This could require surgery to fix the damaged area. Damage to your penis might not get better after a corporal rupture.
After treatment with XIAFLEX, blood vessels in your penis may also break, causing blood to collect under the skin (hematoma). This could require a procedure to drain the blood from under the skin. If a hematoma appears, skin and soft tissue necrosis (death of skin cells) may develop in that area, which could require surgery.
Symptoms of corporal rupture or other serious injury to your penis may include:
- a popping sound or sensation in an erect penis
- sudden loss of the ability to maintain an erection
- pain in your penis
- purple bruising and swelling of your penis
- difficulty urinating or blood in the urine
WHAT IS XIAFLEX?
XIAFLEX is a prescription medicine used to treat adult men with Peyronie's disease who have a "plaque" that can be felt and a curve in their penis greater than 30 degrees when treatment is started.
It is not known if XIAFLEX is safe and effective in children under the age of 18.
The most common side effects with XIAFLEX for the treatment of Peyronie's disease include:
- a small collection of blood under the skin at the injection site (hematoma)
- swelling at the injection site or along your penis
- pain or tenderness at the injection site, along your penis and above your penis
- penis bruising
- itching of your penis or scrotum (genitals)
- painful erection
- erection problems (erectile dysfunction)
- changes in the color of the skin of your penis
- blisters at the injection site
- pain with sex
- a lump at the injection site (nodule)
