BRONCUS MEDICAL, INC.
Broncus Medical, Inc.® is a publicly traded global healthcare company. The Company’s mission is to establish bronchoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic solutions as the gold standard for the diagnosis and treatment of lung disease. Our vision is to be a global leader in the transformation of lung disease treatment.
As a leader in the diagnosis and treatment of lung disease, Broncus Medical continues to partner with clinicians from around the world to answer the biggest challenges in pulmonary medicine through innovative solutions.
The Archimedes® system is a next-generation virtual bronchoscopic navigation system developed from years of experience and clinical feedback. Archimedes integrates CT, pattern recognition software, and fused fluoroscopy to provide real-time airway navigation and Bronchoscopic Trans-Parenchymal Nodule Access (BTPNA). The technology combines state-of-the-art nodule, vessel and airway mapping features along with virtual pathway guidance to ensure a safe and efficient airway or BTPNA procedure. The proprietary software and design allow for the use of any bronchoscope and existing off-the-shelf tools during airway navigation and a simple access kit for BTPNA.
Bronchoscopic Thermal Vapor Ablation® (InterVapor® or BTVA®) is a non-surgical and non-implant therapy developed for emphysema. BTVA is a simple, quick, and non-invasive procedure that typically takes less than 15 minutes and can be performed under light sedation. Vapor is delivered through a catheter to the most diseased segments of the lung. The vapor ablates the diseased tissue and the body removes the ablated tissue through the natural healing process. In patients with severe emphysema, vapor ablation of the most diseased segments of the lung may result in clinically meaningful improvement in breathing by increasing pulmonary function.
Broncus Medical continues to innovate and deliver lung solutions globally that improve patients’ lives through early diagnosis and treatment.

INTUITIVE
Intuitive was founded in 1995 to create innovative, robotic-assisted systems that help empower doctors and hospitals to make surgery less invasive than an open approach. Since da Vinci® became one of the first robotic-assisted systems cleared by the FDA for general laparoscopic surgery, it’s taken robotic-assisted surgery from concept to reality. Working with doctors and hospitals, we’re continuing to develop new, minimally invasive surgical platforms and future diagnostic tools to help solve complex healthcare challenges around the world. Innovating for minimally invasive care.
The Ion endoluminal system is Intuitive’s robotic-assisted platform for minimally invasive biopsy in the lung. We built Ion on the belief that collecting lung tissue samples for biopsy could be safe and simple, even when nodules are small and located in the peripheral lung. The Ion experience starts with PlanPoint software that translates a CT scan of the patient’s lung, building a 3D model to map a pathway to the nodules that need biopsy. Using this detailed map, a physician can use the simple scroll wheel and trackball to drive the ultra-thin robotic catheter into the lung during the procedure. Ion’s ultrathin 3.5 millimeter diameter, fully articulating catheter bends 180 degrees in any direction as needed. This enables doctors to reach deep into lungs in order to obtain a tissue sample to aid diagnosis. Fiber-optic based shape-sensing technology measures the location of the catheter hundreds of times a second, providing the physician with real-time guidance. This technology enables Ion to hold the catheter in a fixed position for passage of biopsy tools in place, such as Intuitive’s Flexision Biopsy Needle. And its unprecedented stability enables the precision needed for biopsy. Improving precision and efficiency is at the core of our intent with Ion.
Through listening to and learning from our customers, we continuously refine the system—to keep Ion at the forefront of what’s possible. Intuitive’s robotic-assisted surgical products have been used in more than 8.5 million procedures globally. Ion represents an expansion of minimally invasive care to potentially aid the patient journey for the one of the most prevalent cancers in the world.
