Vessi Medical has developed a patent-protected cryo spray technology specifically for ablating urological tissues in hollow and humid organs, offering a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical procedures. This approach reduces complications, eliminates the need for general anesthesia in some cases, and lowers healthcare costs associated with the treatment of Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC).

Problem
Current surgical procedures for treating urological tissues in hollow and humid organs, such as the bladder, are often invasive, costly, and require general anesthesia, leading to significant complications and reduced patient quality of life. These procedures often necessitate hospital stays and may need to be repeated, further increasing healthcare costs.
Solution
Vessi Medical offers a minimally invasive cryo spray technology specifically designed for ablating urological tissues within hollow and humid organs. The Vessi System comprises a standalone console and a disposable device for transurethral insertion, enabling targeted cryotherapy without the need for general anesthesia in some cases. This non-contact ablation technique effectively treats the targeted tissue and surrounding areas while minimizing the risk of complications associated with traditional surgical methods. The system provides effective visualization inside hollow organs, even in mixed liquid and gas environments, ensuring precise and controlled treatment.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes urologists and medical facilities seeking minimally invasive and cost-effective solutions for treating urological tissues, specifically Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC).
