Profound Medical Announces First Commercial Use Of TULSA-PRO System's New TULSA-AI Volume Reduction Module For BPH Treatment

Profound Medical Corp. (NASDAQ:PROF, TSX:PRN) ("Profound" or the "Company"), a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and markets customizable, AI-powered, incision-free therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue, is pleased to announce that the first commercial benign prostatic hyperplasia ("BPH") treatment utilizing the TULSA-PRO® system's new TULSA-AI® Volume Reduction Module was successfully conducted yesterday by Naveen Kella, M.D., Founder of The Urology Place and an Adjunct Assistant Professor for the UT Health Science Center San Antonio.

BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland due to an overgrowth of prostate cells. It is a common condition as men age, often impeding the flow of urine and creating significant lower urinary tract symptoms ("LUTS"). Current BPH treatment with transurethral resection of the prostate ("TURP") is largely unchanged over the past 100 years. Many alternative treatment methods have been investigated aiming to improve the patient experience and reduce the rates of complications such as bleeding, erectile dysfunction, loss of ejaculation, and the need to stay in the hospital overnight for one, two or more days.
