The anuleaf AD Solution
While analgesics have come a long way
during the last few decades, the use of topical measures and drugs
alone have proven ineffective at managing acute hemorrhoid pain.
anuleaf AD was developed as a simple and cost-effective
device that can be worn during the acute episode to complement
traditional treatments and provide significantly more relief.
What is it?
The anuleaf Adhesive Device was designed for people who suffer from external symptomatic hemorrhoids.
The device consists of two ergonomically-designed adhesive strips to be placed from the gluteal fold to the hip bone. Only the ends of the strips have adhesive, which allows the center of the product to shift with the body's movement. anuleaf AD is easy to use and can be worn at all times under clothing.

Hemorrhoids are classified by location: internal, external and
mixed, or by severity using grades I through IV.
