Tough on Cancer. With U.S.

Gentle on Patients. Francis Medical develops innovative medical technologies to treat urological cancers while remaining gentle on patients. Our first product, the FDA-cleared Vanquish® Water Vapor Ablation System, uses the natural energy stored in sterile water vapor to ablate targeted prostate tissue through a minimally invasive, transurethral procedure. Our mission is personal. The company is named in memory of Founder Michael Hoey’s father, Francis, who lost his life to prostate cancer in 1991. Inspired by his story, we are committed to creating technologies that help patients avoid the life-altering side effects often associated with traditional prostate cancer therapies. We believe in solutions that help patients quickly return to their normal lives. clearance achieved and international regulatory pathways underway, we are focused on bringing this breakthrough therapy to more people around the world. Follow us for updates, clinical insights, and news about our ongoing mission to improve cancer care.

The Vanquish® Water V***r Ablation System harnesses the Power of Phase Shift Energy, a breakthrough in targeted prostate tissue ablation.

💦 As water converts to v***r (or steam) at ~100°C, an exponential phase shift occurs, with the resulting water v***r carrying more than 5x the energy of water of the same mass.

The Vanquish® System is designed to use the phase shift energy stored in sterile water v***r to transfer thermal energy to targeted prostate tissue, causing cell death.

Looking back at the European Association of Urology Congress (EAU26), we’re grateful for the opportunity to connect with the urology community during an evening focused on advancing care.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the dinner and presentation, and to Dr. Arvin George for sharing insights from the V***R 2 Study on patient experience. This novel, multi-center trial is evaluating the Vanquish® Water V***r Ablation System, a transurethral thermal water v***r approach to ablate prostate tissue, with data now reported on the first 110 patients at 12-month follow-up.

We appreciate the engagement and thoughtful discussion around emerging, evidence-based approaches to care.

“The patient satisfaction data further supports the exciting potential of the Vanquish technology,” said Dr. Arvin George, director of Prostate Cancer Programs at the Johns Hopkins Brady Urological Institute, and a V***R 2 co-principal investigator. “Most patients experienced no pain, quickly resumed daily activities, and indicated high rates of satisfaction with their procedure and decision at 12 months.”

Echoing V***R 2 Study results: 93% of patients were extremely satisfied or satisfied at 12 months, with minimal to no pain reported.

The Vanquish® System is cleared for thermal ablation of targeted prostate tissue via transurethral approach.

About Us

Francis Medical is a dynamic medical device company committed to developing urological cancer treatments that are tough on cancer, yet gentle on patients. Our work is fueled by a compassionate belief that cancer can be stopped with minimally invasive treatments. The company’s core values are Quality, Integrity, Innovation, Excellence, and Collaboration.

Prostate Cancer

Using a new platform to treat endourological cancers, water v***r technology, we’re developing a device for treating prostate cancer, the second most common cancer in American men. Currently available prostate cancer treatments often result in life-altering side effects such as urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Water v***r technology is intended to result in minimal side effects, offering a distinct advantage over other treatments.

Francis Medical is named after Francis Hoey, the father of inventor and Francis Medical founder, Michael Hoey. In 1991, after undergoing prostate cancer treatments with debilitating effects on his daily living, Francis died from prostate cancer.
