About Profound Medical Corp.

Profound is developing the powerful combination of real-time magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and non-invasive ultrasound ablation. These key technology pillars, linked with intelligent software and robotics, have the potential to fulfill unmet needs of patients and clinicians in many anatomies and disease states, including prostate cancer, uterine fibroids, and bone metastases.

Profound is commercializing a novel technology, TULSA-PRO®, which uses real-time MR imaging to guide precise ablation of the prostate while simultaneously protecting critical surrounding anatomy. TULSA-PRO® is CE marked and is undergoing a pilot commercial launch in key European and other CE mark jurisdictions. Profound is also sponsoring a multicenter, prospective U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-registered clinical trial, TACT, which if successful, is expected to support an application to the FDA for clearance to market TULSA-PRO® in the United States.

Profound is also commercializing Sonalleve®, an innovative therapeutic platform that is CE marked for the treatment of uterine fibroids and palliative pain treatment of bone metastases. The technology was also recently approved by the Chinese Food and Drug Administration for the non-invasive treatment of uterine fibroids. The Company is in the early stages of exploring additional potential treatment markets for Sonalleve®, such as non-invasive ablation of abdominal cancers and hyperthermia for cancer therapy, where the technology has been shown to have clinical application.
