PROCEPT® BioRobotics Corporation (Nasdaq: PRCT), a surgical robotics company focused on advancing patient care by developing transformative solutions in urology, and Providence, a not-for-profit health system serving the Western U.S., today announced a multi-system, national contract to acquire AquaBeam Robotic Systems. As of June 30, 2022, Providence had seven AquaBeam Robotic Systems installed across California and Texas.
“For men affected by benign prostatic hyperplasia, Aquablation therapy’s safety and efficacy profile provides long-term symptom relief leading to significant improvements in quality of life,” said Richard Shapiro, M.D., F.A.C.S., on staff at Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center and one of the first Providence urologists to perform the new procedure. “This option appeals to men who are looking for a long-lasting solution with minimal risk of irreversible complications.”
“PROCEPT is honored to partner with leading health systems, such as Providence, that are committed to advancing patient care through next-generation innovations and we look forward to supporting their growing programs across the western United States,” said Sham Shiblaq, Executive Vice President, Chief Commercial Officer of PROCEPT. “As we continue to expand our global commercial footprint, our dedicated team remains focused on accelerating adoption of Aquablation therapy and bringing this much needed treatment option to all patients.”
Aquablation therapy combines real-time, multi-dimensional imaging, automated robotics and heat-free waterjet ablation for targeted, controlled and immediate removal of prostate tissue. Combining both cystoscopic visualization and ultrasound imaging, surgeons can create a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s anatomy. Once the personalized treatment map is complete, the robotically controlled, heat-free waterjet ablates the prostate tissue, avoiding critical structures to preserve sexual function and continence.1,2,3
