The Vanquish System, from Francis Medical's product render: monitor, generator on its cart, stabilizer system, and the delivery device with its needle in the circle. Vanquish System
  • MonitorTreatment information with ultrasound, cystoscopy and needle guidance images.
  • GeneratorOn its cart. The operator interface controls and monitors the process.
  • Stabilizer systemHolds the components so one user can move between them.
  • Delivery deviceDeploys the needle into the target, then creates and delivers water vapor.

Illustrative, not to scale, not clinical data.

Respecting natural boundaries.

Vanquish delivers the thermal energy stored in sterile water vapor: 540 calories in every gram at 100 °C, given up where the vapor condenses. It travels through the spaces between cells, and dense tissue structures generally inhibit its movement.

The Vanquish® Water Vapor Ablation System has been cleared as a tool for the thermal ablation of targeted prostate tissue via a transurethral approach.

0 of 10 secondsVapor moves through the gaps and stops at the dense band.

The field was the needle tip all along.

Sterile water is heated in the system and turned to vapor, then delivered through small emitter holes at the distal end of a transurethral needle. Around it, the Vanquish System brings together a monitor, a generator on its cart, a stabilizer system and the delivery device.

The circle is still the live field. Hold it, or press Space, to deliver vapor there.

One pathway, 1 mm at a time.

  1. Insert the delivery device into the prostatic urethra.
  2. Position it with cystoscope, ultrasound and needle guidance.
  3. Rotate to the delivery angle.
  4. Deploy and advance the needle. Confirm on ultrasound.
  5. Press and hold to deliver vapor, up to 10 seconds.
  6. Step 1 mm along the same pathway and repeat.
  7. Retract the needle.

Needle at its first position. 0 of 4 deliveries.

Drag the needle back, or use the left and right arrow keys. Each 10 second delivery is shown at four times speed.

The Vanquish Water Vapor Ablation System is indicated for the thermal ablation of targeted prostate tissue via a transurethral approach.
