EDAP TMS SA : EDAP to Showcase Suite of Therapeutic Ultrasound Products During the American Urology Association Annual Meeting

EDAP to Provide Live Demonstrations and Host Q&A with Interested Parties at Booth #2211

LYON, France, April 29, 2019 -- EDAP TMS SA (Nasdaq:EDAP), the global leader in therapeutic ultrasound, announced today that it will demonstrate the capabilities of its range of minimally-invasive therapeutic ultrasound products, including its breakthrough Focal One® HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) advanced robotic technology for the targeted ablation of prostate tissue, at booth #2211 at the American Urology Association ("AUA") Annual Meeting, which is being held May 3-6, 2019, at Mc Cornick Place, in Chicago, IL. This will be the first time that EDAP is showcasing Focal One at AUA.

This year's conference will also feature several key presentations and scientific communications on focal therapy and Focal One. Among the presentations, Dr. Eduard Baco of Oslo University Hospital in Norway is scheduled to discuss his progress in a randomized clinical trial evaluating Focal One versus robotic prostatectomy.

Focal One HIFU makes it possible for doctors to deliver a non-invasive precision treatment to destroy targeted tissue in the prostate while leaving healthy tissue intact. This reduces the likelihood of negative side effects commonly related to prostate surgery like incontinence and impotence. The Focal One prostate tissue ablation system received 510(k) clearance from the FDA in June 2018, and has already been sold in five major teaching institutions around the US.
