About

Focal Healthcare is a Toronto-based medical device company founded in January 2014 by Dr. Chicuong La. The company focuses on enhancing prostate cancer care through advanced image-guidance technology. It specializes in developing MRI-targeted fusion biopsy and therapy systems that combine MRI images with real-time ultrasound, allowing for accurate and accessible prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment. Their flagship products include the Fusion Bx™ system for targeted prostate biopsies and the Fusion Tx™ system for needle-based therapy procedures. These systems utilize a mechanical arm and 3D visualization software to guide ultrasound transducers to suspicious cancer regions identified by MRI. This innovative approach has been shown to detect high-grade prostate cancer in 30% more men compared to traditional methods. Focal Healthcare aims to improve diagnostic accuracy, reduce unnecessary biopsies, and enhance patient outcomes. The company has received FDA clearance for its Fusion Bx™ device and is working to expand its international market presence. Its target customers include urologists, hospitals, and clinics specializing in prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment.
