Problem
Traditional cancer therapies often result in collateral damage to healthy tissue surrounding the tumor. This lack of selectivity can lead to significant side effects and complications, impacting patient prognosis and quality of life.
Solution
CAPS Medical develops the PlasmaSure™ system, a minimally invasive solution for the selective treatment of solid tumors. The system utilizes non-thermal atmospheric plasma delivered through a disposable catheter, allowing precise targeting of cancer cells while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. This approach overcomes the challenges of delivering non-thermal plasma to internal organs, offering a safer and more controlled treatment option. Real-time energy monitoring ensures consistent treatment delivery.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes oncologists and hospitals treating patients with solid tumors, specifically lung, liver, breast, gastrointestinal, bladder, and prostate cancers.
