Optilume for anterior urethral strictures

Equality considerations

NICE is committed to promoting equality of opportunity, eliminating unlawful discrimination and fostering good relations between people with particular protected characteristics and others.

Optilume is intended for men with urethral strictures. Some people may not identify as men but have a penis. Urethral strictures become more common in people over 55. Sex, physical disability, gender reassignment and age are protected characteristics under the Equality Act (2010).
