THE NEED
Recurrent disease, that necessitate repeat treatments, with reduced quality of life
Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) is the leading first-line therapy. A costly, invasive surgical procedure, TURBT is performed in a hospital under general anesthesia, with significant complications. Moreover, in up to 80% of cases the cancer returns, and that results in multiple repeat procedures which further reduce patients’ quality of life.
Vessi’s initial target is the
$1.2 billion NMIBC market

NMIBC is defined as a cancer on the surface of the inner lining of the bladder. Physical symptoms often include problems urinating, pain and blood in the urine, or sexual dysfunction; however, it may also affect mental health and lead to a significant decrease in quality of life.
The standard of care has numerous limitations
Bleeding (14.1%) and perforations (4.7%) with frequent extraperitoneal extravasation of urine
Residual tumors 2cm around visible tumor, in 13% of Ta and in 35% of T1 tumors
50%-80% Recurrences after TURBT, most during the first year
Unique cryo spray for hollow & humid organs
Vessi's minimally invasive solution for NMIBC provides a new therapeutic alternative to surgery. The company's bladder-specific cryotherapy reduces the cost and the complications associated with TURBT.
