On November 11, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country. Veterans face unique health challenges, including nearly twice the risk of prostate cancer compared to the general population. Factors such as exposure to substances like Agent Orange contribute to this increased risk, and prostate cancer is the most common cancer diagnosis among U.S. veterans.

At Francis Medical, we are committed to advancing prostate cancer care for all, including those who have served. This Veterans Day, we encourage veterans and their families to prioritize regular screenings and early detection.

About Us

Francis Medical is a dynamic medical device company committed to developing urological cancer treatments that are tough on cancer, yet gentle on patients. Our work is fueled by a compassionate belief that cancer can be stopped with minimally invasive treatments. The companyโ€™s core values are Quality, Integrity, Innovation, Excellence, and Collaboration.

Prostate Cancer

Using a new platform to treat endourological cancers, water v***r technology, weโ€™re developing a device for treating prostate cancer, the second most common cancer in American men. Currently available prostate cancer treatments often result in life-altering side effects such as urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Water v***r technology is intended to result in minimal side effects, offering a distinct advantage over other treatments.

Francis Medical is named after Francis Hoey, the father of inventor and Francis Medical founder, Michael Hoey. In 1991, after undergoing prostate cancer treatments with debilitating effects on his daily living, Francis died from prostate cancer.
