Prolieve® offers a unique “Thermodilatation” treatment for BPH. Thermodilatation is a combinational therapy using Transurethral Microwave Therapy (TUMT) together with cooled and pressurized balloon dilatation therapy simultaneously.
Medifocus has already entered into an exclusive commercial licensing agreement with Duke University for the rights to a patented technology to develop Heat-Activated and Tumor Targeted Immunotherapy and Gene Therapy.

BPH is a medical condition caused by the enlargement of the male’s prostate gland which affects over 50% of all men over the age of 50. The Prolieve® device is a revenue generating FDA approved (PMA) commercial product and the only patented Thermodilatation device available on the market. The unique combinational treatment is a 45-minute, in-office, outpatient procedure which does not require intravenous sedation, and which results in both immediate and long-term symptomatic relief for BPH patients.
