IceCure's ProSense™ cryoablation systems are currently benefitting patients suffering from cancerous and benign tumors of the breast, lung, kidney and other organs, globally, with clinical results demonstrating significant success in tumor destruction. The Company's progress is driven by the accelerating global trend for minimally invasive treatments as they remove the need for expensive operating rooms and medical staff during surgical procedures. The advantages of using IceCure's Cryoablation Technology include:
- Enables the destruction of tumors, benign and cancerous, in various organs, in a regular clinic in less than an hour.
- Procedure can be performed without the need for general anesthesia or hospitalization.
Additionally, IceCure's solution can also help institutions free-up overloaded operating rooms, while potentially preventing or reducing the risk of infectious pathogens from medical procedures. These are especially critical in today's healthcare landscape, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
