AVANT Concierge Urology in Florida USA has treated its first patients using CLS’s TRANBERG system
Lund, Sweden – Clinical Laserthermia Systems AB (publ) (“CLS” or “the Company”) announces today that AVANT Concierge Urology, which CLS's US subsidiary entered into a Mobile Service Provider (“MSP”) agreement with at the end of April, has now treated its first patients using CLS’s TRANBERG™ system.
AVANT Concierge Urology, based in Florida, USA, has now safely treated its first low-to-intermediate risk prostate cancer patients using CLS TRANBERG Thermal Therapy System. Under the agreement, CLS provides its FDA 510(k) cleared TRANBERG Thermal Therapy System in a bundled service offering, with consumable accessories, training, and on-site clinical and technical staff support to AVANT physicians and staff during procedures.
“AVANT Concierge Urology is excited to begin offering its patients this safe, minimally invasive prostate cancer treatment in the convenience of our office as an outpatient procedure,” stated Dr. Sijo Parekattil, Director of AVANT Concierge Urology. “Most treatments are quick and take less than two hours. Patients usually have only minor pain and recover quickly.”
"I am pleased to see the positive impact of our bundled service offering on the timeline for starting up a new customer. It means that prostate cancer patients more quickly get access to a minimal invasive treatment option without the typical risk profile and the complications that are associated to radiation and open surgery. It is also a confirmation that CLS agreement with bundled services is an easy way for clinics to start offering what prostate cancer patients are asking for. A positive experience we will continue to build on,” says Dan J Mogren, CEO Clinical Laserthermia Systems AB.
In the US, over one million prostate biopsies are performed every year leading to a diagnosis of prostate cancer for almost 250,000 men. Focal laser ablation of prostate tumors has demonstrated high levels of precision and accuracy with low risk of side effects, such as erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence.
