About

Uptake Medical is a medical device company based in Tustin, California, specializing in non-surgical therapies for lung diseases, particularly emphysema and lung cancer. Founded in 2004, the company is known for its proprietary Bronchoscopic Thermal Vapor Ablation® (BTVA), also referred to as InterVapor®. This minimally invasive treatment utilizes heated pure water vapor to ablate diseased lung tissue, aiming to enhance breathing and quality of life for patients with severe pulmonary conditions. The InterVapor® device delivers controlled thermal vapor to targeted lung areas through a bronchoscope, allowing for precise treatment. The procedure is quick, typically taking less than 15 minutes and performed under light sedation. Uptake Medical's technology is primarily aimed at patients with severe emphysema and is also being explored for treating lung lesions associated with non-small cell lung cancer. The company targets healthcare providers such as pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons, focusing on patients with limited treatment options.
