URO-1, Inc., an emerging medical device company, has launched FDA-cleared, patent-protected, clinically validated products for prostate biopsy designed to improve cancer detection and reduce diagnostic ambiguity. Current methods can result in misdiagnosis, leading to unnecessary treatments or delayed diagnoses that affect patient outcomes. These challenges are attributed to insufficient tissue and/or suboptimal tissue quality from existing needle designs and specimen handling techniques. The cornerstones of the URO-1 products are the SUREcore™ biopsy needle and coreCARE™ specimen retrieval platform. The former obtains more tissue of higher quality, while the latter employs a simple “Touch and Go” technique to minimize tissue handling and preserve tissue integrity. CEO Ted Belleza highlights the company’s mission: “Our goal is to improve the quality of biopsy specimens to increase the diagnostic accuracy of prostate biopsy and facilitate the adoption of Digital Pathology and AI. Initial results from a multicenter study indicate we are achieving that goal.”
