We were proud to host our first commercial physician training program for the Vanquish® System at Francis Medical headquarters in Maple Grove, Minnesota.

Participating urologists received comprehensive clinical overviews and hands-on simulation training to prepare for initial Vanquish procedures. When physicians are willing to brave -3°F Minnesota temperatures to attend training, the enthusiasm speaks for itself!

Special recognition and thanks to Amanda Zierden, Associate Director of Training, for her leadership in building a world-class training program, and to Dr. Dixon for his valuable contributions.

This milestone reflects continued progress in supporting physician education and training with the Vanquish System.

💦 Traditional ablation technologies use conduction from a single point.

When Vanquish® Water V***r Ablation transfers energy convectively through the target prostate tissue, v***r is constrained by natural boundaries of the prostate. This can reduce the potential for incidences of erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence, which are commonly experienced with traditional prostate ablation methods.
