Leadership Comments
"Men with prostate disease have had to choose between treatments that don't do enough and treatments that come with consequential tradeoffs and side-effects. The MaxQ system is designed to offer the durability of gold standard resective therapies with side-effects more comparable to tMIS solutions," said Amir Tehrani, CEO of MaxQ Medical.
"Our work in semiconductor ultrasound has spanned decades, and this is the first time we've taken that foundation and built a complete imaging and therapy system around it," said Professor Pierre Khuri-Yakub, co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Orchard Ultrasound Innovation and Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University.
