Last year, at the end of this formal meeting, we requested one of our physician users to present to you their perspective on the TULSA technology. This year, I would like to ask Tom Tamberrino, our Chief Commercial Officer, to present our patient perspective. What do we hear from the patient? Tom?
Thomas Tamberrino
ExecutivesThank you, Arun, and good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. At the center of every conversation about innovation, growth, reimbursement and clinical adoption is one person who matters most, the patient. For men facing prostate disease, the journey is often filled with fear, uncertainty and difficult trade-offs. They are not only asking, will this treatment work, they are also asking, will I still be myself afterward? Will I maintain my quality of life? Will I still be able to go to work, to exercise, to travel and to be present for my family. Historically, many prostate treatments force patients to choose between effective disease management and preserving quality of life. That is precisely why TULSA-PRO matters. TULSA-PRO represents a different philosophy of care, one centered on precision, personalization and preservation. For patients, the experience is not just about treating tissue. It is about maintaining dignity, confidence and control over their future. Using real-time MRI guidance and predictable thermal ablation, physicians can tailor treatment to the individual anatomy and disease characteristics of the patient. That level of precision is meaningful because every millimeter matters when preserving urinary and functional outcomes. What we continue to hear from patients is powerful. They talk about returning to normal life faster. They talk about having options, they talk about hope. And perhaps most importantly, they talk about feeling heard. That commitment to listening to patients is also reflected in our new Let's Huddle initiative, a growing community designed to encourage more open conversations around prostate health, early detection, treatment choices and quality of life after treatment. Too many men still delay seeking care because of stigma, fear or lack of awareness. Let's Huddle is intended to change that by creating a place where patients, families, physicians and advocates can come together to share experiences, learn from one another and better understand the full range of treatment options available today. We encourage everyone to learn more at letshuddle.org. In today's health care environment, patients are increasingly informed and engaged in their treatment decisions. They want therapies that align not only with clinical outcomes, but with lifestyle outcomes. TULSA-PRO is well positioned within that evolution of medicine. As we look ahead, our mission remains clear, to expand access, strengthen clinical evidence, support our physician partners and continue building awareness among patients seeking minimally invasive treatment alternatives. The opportunity before us is significant, but our purpose is even greater. Every new TULSA program, every physician trained, every patient treated represents another individual who may avoid more invasive procedures and preserve quality of life in ways that truly matter. To our shareholders, thank you for your continued confidence and support. to our physicians and health care partners, thank you for advancing patient care through innovation. And to the patients who place their trust in the TULSA-PRO technology, thank you for reminding us why this work is so important. We remain committed to delivering meaningful innovation that improves lives. Thank you.
