By GlobalDataThe Aquabeam System, which has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is a surgical robot that offers autonomous tissue removal for the treatment of BPH.
It combines real-time, multi-dimensional prostate imaging and surgical robotics technology to provide Aquablation therapy, a high-pressure water jet used to remove prostate tissue without heating it.
The treatment is said to be a minimally invasive technique that provides consistent, predictable, and reproducible optimal outcomes.
The system is currently commercially available in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and select European markets.
