About EDAP TMS SA
EDAP TMS SA markets today Ablatherm® for high-intensity focused
ultrasound (HIFU) for prostate tissue ablation in the U.S. and for
treatment of localized prostate cancer in the rest of the world.
HIFU treatment is shown to be a minimally invasive and effective
option for prostatic tissue ablation with a low occurrence of side
effects. Ablatherm-HIFU is generally recommended for patients with
localized prostate cancer (stages T1-T2) who are not candidates for
surgery or who prefer an alternative option, or for patients who
failed radiotherapy treatment. Ablatherm-HIFU is approved for
commercial distribution in Europe and some other countries
including Mexico and Canada, and has received 510(k) clearance by
the U.S. FDA. Ablatherm Fusion is not FDA cleared yet. The Company
also markets an innovative robot-assisted HIFU device, the Focal
One®, dedicated to focal therapy of prostate cancer. Focal One® is
CE marked but is not FDA cleared. The Company also develops its
HIFU technology for the potential treatment of certain other types
of tumors. EDAP TMS SA also produces and distributes medical
equipment (the Sonolith® lithotripters' range) for the treatment of
urinary tract stones using extra-corporeal shockwave lithotripsy
(ESWL) in most countries including Canada and the U.S. For more
