Develops robotic solutions for BPH treatment

About PROCEPT BioRobotics

PROCEPT BioRobotics develops robotic solutions specifically for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition that affects many older men by causing prostate enlargement and urinary issues. Their main product, the AquaBeam Robotic System, utilizes Aquablation therapy, which combines real-time imaging, robotics, and waterjet technology to precisely remove prostate tissue in a minimally invasive manner. This system is designed for urologists and healthcare facilities, focusing on enhancing patient outcomes and making surgical procedures more efficient. Unlike competitors, PROCEPT BioRobotics emphasizes predictable results and reduced complications, which has led to their technology being recognized in clinical guidelines. The company's goal is to improve the quality of life for patients suffering from BPH through advanced surgical solutions.
