Our Story
The ProPep® Nerve Monitoring System is the first FDA-cleared, real-time nerve monitoring system for robotic prostatectomy surgery. This system helps surgeons identify critical, non-visible somatic nerves at risk during surgery, thereby allowing the surgeon to make more-informed decisions on how to spare these nerves, potentially minimizing nerve damage.
For patients, this means that surgeons using this technology have additional information during the operation that may help them reduce inadvertent damage to the critical nerves and in doing so, potentially reduce sexual dysfunction and urinary incontinence that are common side effects.
By enabling informed surgical decisions around tissue handling, ProPep helps patients achieve the best possible chance for full recovery and regaining the quality of life they had before surgery. ProPep cares about a man’s life after cancer, and is providing surgeons with the tools to preserve it.
