Advancing patient awareness and access to innovative prostate care

For Profound, Let’s Huddle is an important extension of its commitment to patient education and engagement, complementing its work to advance innovative approaches to prostate treatment.

“Montel’s story is a powerful reminder that health challenges can have a lasting impact on quality of life, long after military service or other major life milestones,” said Arun Menawat, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Profound Medical. “Men facing prostate disease deserve access to clear information, meaningful support and treatment options that take their quality of life into account. The TULSA Procedure™ offers an incision-free, MRI-guided approach to prostate tissue ablation, designed to provide precise, personalized treatment. We believe initiatives like Let’s Huddle play an important role in helping patients become informed participants in their care.”

Profound is also proud to support expanded access to innovative prostate care for veterans. To that end, the Company recently installed the first TULSA-PRO^® system at a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs facility to offer veterans access to the TULSA Procedure™, an important milestone in broadening access to this treatment approach.

About Profound Medical Corp.

Profound is a commercial-stage medical device company and an innovator in interventional MRI (iMRI) procedures. The company’s flagship platform, TULSA-PRO^®, enables MRI-guided, incision-free prostate ablation. Physicians use the TULSA Procedure™ to see, ablate, and confirm therapy in real time, supporting personalized treatment strategies across the continuum of prostate care—from whole-gland to subtotal, hemi, multifocal, and focal treatment. This approach enables individualized care using prostate tissue ablation, while minimizing the potential of the side effects that are typically associated with surgery or radiation, such as urinary incontinence and/or erectile dysfunction.

Profound also commercializes Sonalleve^®, an MRI-guided therapy that provides a non-surgical treatment option for pain palliation of bone metastases, desmoid tumors, and osteoid osteoma, as well as for common gynecologic conditions including uterine fibroids and adenomyosis. Sonalleve delivers targeted therapy with no incisions, no blood loss during the procedure, no overnight hospital stay, and faster recovery — and, in gynecologic applications, enables uterine-sparing treatment that may help preserve fertility. Profound is also exploring additional clinical applications for Sonalleve, including non-invasive ablation of abdominal cancers and hyperthermia-based cancer therapies.

Profound Medical’s technologies are approved across major global markets. TULSA-PRO is cleared by the FDA in the United States for transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) of prostate tissue. In addition, TULSA-PRO is cleared for use in various jurisdictions including Europe, Canada, Saudi Arabia, India, Australia/New Zealand, and the UAE. Sonalleve is approved by the FDA as HDE in the United States for the treatment of osteoid osteomas in the extremities. Sonalleve is also cleared or approved in the Europe, Canada, China, and Saudi Arabia.

Through real-time MRI guidance and data-driven innovation, Profound is advancing the future of MRI-guided therapy — expanding access to precise, personalized, and incision-free treatment options worldwide.
