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, AI-enhanced planning,
robotically driven transurethral ultrasound and closed-loop
temperature feedback control. The TULSA procedure, performed using
the TULSA-PRO® system, has the potential of becoming a mainstream
treatment modality across the entire prostate disease spectrum;
ranging from low-, intermediate-, or high-risk prostate cancer; to
hybrid patients suffering from both prostate cancer and benign
prostatic hyperplasia (“BPH”); to men with BPH only; and also, to
patients requiring salvage therapy for radio recurrent localized
prostate cancer. TULSA employs real-time MR guidance for precision
to preserve patients’ urinary continence and sexual function, while
killing the targeted prostate tissue via precise sound absorption
technology that gently heats it to 55-57°C. TULSA is an incision-
and radiation-free “one-and-done” procedure performed in a single
session that takes a few hours. Virtually all prostate shapes and
sizes can be safely, effectively, and efficiently treated with
TULSA. There is no bleeding associated with the procedure; no
hospital stay is required; and most TULSA patients report quick
recovery to their normal routine. 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. Profound 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.
