We’re proud to announce the first commercial (non-clinical trial) procedures in Arizona using the #Vanquish® Water Vapor Ablation System. The procedures were performed by Rahul Mehan, MD, of East Valley Urology Center of Arizona at Verve Surgery Center, marking the first use of the Vanquish System in routine commercial practice in the state. This milestone reflects thoughtful adoption, physician training, and a shared commitment to advancing minimally invasive procedural innovation. Developed by Francis Medical, the Vanquish System is intended for the ablation of prostate tissue using high-energy sterile water vapor delivered via a transurethral approach. #ThankYou to Dr. Mehan (@RahulMehan1 ), Verve Surgery Center, and East Valley Urology Center (@EVUCENTER) of Arizona, whose support helped make this milestone possible. Congratulations to all involved in leading the way. Read more about this exciting news. 📄 Press Release: francismedical.com/news Rx Only. FDA Cleared.

“This breakthrough technology holds the promise of minimizing the life-altering side effects commonly encountered with conventional, more aggressive prostate treatments.” — Dr. Christopher Dixon 💦 Water vapor technology is designed to ablate prostate tissue with the thermal energy stored in sterile water vapor. The #Vanquish® #WaterVaporAblation System delivers targeted applications of thermal energy using a transurethral procedure. See the science behind this approach: francismedical.com/science/ Rx Only.

“The patient satisfaction data further supports the exciting potential of the Vanquish technology,” said Dr. Arvin George (@arvinkgeorge), director of Prostate Cancer Programs at the Brady Urological Institute, Johns Hopkins University, and a VAPOR 2 co-principal investigator. “Most patients experienced no pain, quickly resumed daily activities, and indicated high rates of satisfaction with their procedure and decision at 12 months.” Echoing #VAPOR2 Study results: 93% of patients were extremely satisfied or satisfied at 12 months, with minimal to no pain reported. The #Vanquish® System is cleared for thermal ablation of targeted prostate tissue via transurethral approach. 🔗 More: francismedical.com Rx Only. FDA Cleared.

This is a trial to watch: @arvinkgeorge presents an update to the Vapor2 trial (Vanquish System) which aims to destroy prostate tissue with steam. So far it appears to be quite compelling in the tissue ablation space. #EAU26

It was a beautiful morning along the Thames supporting @europa_uomo #StepOutForCancer alongside colleagues and peers from @Uroweb during #EAU2026 #London raising awareness and vital €€€ for #ProstateCancer charitable causes. Congrats to all who participated and organized ❤️
