About Profound Medical Corp.
Profound is a commercial-stage medical device
company that develops and markets customizable, incision-free
therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue.
Profound is commercializing TULSA-PRO®, a
technology that combines real-time MRI, robotically-driven
transurethral ultrasound and closed-loop temperature feedback
control. TULSA-PRO® is designed to provide customizable and
predictable radiation-free ablation of a surgeon-defined prostate
volume while actively protecting the urethra and rectum to help
preserve the patient’s natural functional abilities.
TULSA-PRO® has the potential to be a flexible technology in
customizable prostate ablation, including intermediate stage
cancer, localized radio-recurrent cancer, retention and hematuria
palliation in locally advanced prostate cancer, and the transition
zone in large volume benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). TULSA-PRO®
is CE marked, Health Canada approved, and 510(k) cleared by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”).
Profound is also commercializing Sonalleve®, an
innovative therapeutic platform that is CE marked for the treatment
of uterine fibroids and palliative pain treatment of bone
metastases. Sonalleve® has also been approved by the China
National Medical Products Administration for the non-invasive
treatment of uterine fibroids and has FDA approval under a
Humanitarian Device Exemption for the treatment of osteoid osteoma.
The Company is in the early stages of exploring additional
potential treatment markets for Sonalleve® where the
technology has been shown to have clinical application, such as
non-invasive ablation of abdominal cancers and hyperthermia for
cancer therapy.
