Profound Medical says TULSA data show functional benefits, real-world validation and lower-field MRI feasibility
Profound Medical presented data at the 15th Interventional MRI Symposium showing TULSA's real-world performance and clinical benefits. Mayo Clinic studies reported high continence and erection preservation rates, sustained PSA decline, and shorter catheter days. The CAPTAIN trial showed TULSA's superiority in preserving erectile function and continence compared to robotic prostatectomy. Technical validation confirmed TULSA's feasibility on Siemens 0.55T Free.Max.
