PROCEPT BioRobotics develops robotic medical devices for treating enlarged prostate (BPH). Its flagship AquaBeam Robotic System enables Aquablation therapy, a minimally invasive procedure that removes prostate tissue using a waterjet guided by real-time imaging and robotics to achieve precise, reproducible tissue removal. The system is designed for use by urologists in hospitals and clinics, and the company monetizes through the sale of the AquaBeam system, ongoing revenue from disposable procedure components, and training and support services for providers. Compared with competitors, PROCEPT focuses on a controlled, image-guided robotic approach that aims for predictable outcomes and fewer complications, and its technology has gained recognition in clinical practice guidelines. The company’s goal is to improve patient quality of life by delivering accurate, efficient, and minimally invasive BPH treatment that reduces urinary symptoms using a repeatable surgical workflow.

EAU Guidelines upgrade Aquablation therapy to strong surgical recommendation for BPH.

EAU Guidelines upgrade Aquablation therapy to strong surgical recommendation for BPH. Updated European Association of Urology guidelines reflect growing clinical evidence supporting Aquablation therapy in the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia SAN JOSE, Calif., March 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - PROCEPT BioRobotics (Nasdaq: PRCT) today highlighted the latest update to the European Association of Urology (EAU) Guidelines for male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), which include an upgrade of Aquablation therapy to a strong recommendation as a surgical treatment option for men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The EAU guidelines are widely regarded as one of the most rigorous and influential clinical guideline frameworks in urology globally. The updated guidelines now strongly recommend offering Aquablation therapy as an alternative to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for men with moderate-to-severe urinary symptoms due to BPH, particularly for patients interested in preserving ejaculatory function. This upgrade indicates strong evidence quality and a favorable balance between benefit, harm, and patient preference. Discover more Prostate Surgery Alternatives TURP Alternative Information Health Conditions Guidelines are supported by outcomes from multiple clinical trials on Aquablation therapy, including WATER, a randomized trial against TURP, and WATER II trials demonstrating durable improvements in urinary symptoms and preservation of sexual and urinary function. The guidelines also now recognize evidence supporting Aquablation therapy across a broad range of prostate anatomies, including larger prostate glands, with additional evidence continuing to emerge from recently published studies such as WATER III, a randomized trial against laser enucleation in large glands. "The strength of the clinical evidence supporting Aquablation therapy continues to grow, and this guideline upgrade from the European Association of Urology represents an important milestone for Aquablation therapy," said Larry Wood, President and Chief Executive Officer of PROCEPT BioRobotics. "A strong recommendation from one of the most respected global guideline bodies reflects the strength of the clinical evidence supporting Aquablation therapy and reinforces its role as a modern surgical option for physicians seeking to deliver durable symptom relief while preserving quality-of-life outcomes that matter most to patients," said Evangelos Liatsikos, MD, PhD, Professor of Urology and Chairman of the Department of Urology at the University of Patras, Greece, and Chairman of the European School of Urology (ESU). Recognition from the EAU adds to growing international clinical validation for Aquablation therapy, including support from health technology assessment bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the United Kingdom supporting the routine use of Aquablation therapy within the NHS. About PROCEPT BioRobotics Corporation PROCEPT BioRobotics is a surgical robotics company focused on advancing patient care by developing transformative solutions in urology. PROCEPT BioRobotics manufactures the AQUABEAM and HYDROS Robotic Systems. The HYDROS Robotic System is the only AI-powered, robotic technology that delivers Aquablation therapy. PROCEPT BioRobotics designed Aquablation therapy to deliver effective, safe, and durable outcomes for males suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms or LUTS, due to BPH that are independent of prostate size and shape or surgeon experience. BPH is the most common prostate disease and impacts approximately 40 million men in the United States. The Company has developed a significant and growing body of clinical evidence with approximately 250 peer-reviewed publications, supporting the benefits and clinical advantages of Aquablation therapy.

PROCEPT BioRobotics(R) Announces International Launch of the HYDROS(R) Robotic System, Expanding Global Access to AI-Enabled Aquablation(R) Therapy

PROCEPT BioRobotics(R) announces international launch of the HYDROS(R) Robotic System, expanding global access to ai-enabled aquablation(r) therapy. UK marks first international launch of the HYDROS Robotic System, with additional international expansion planned in 2026. SAN JOSE, Calif., March 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - PROCEPT BioRobotics (Nasdaq: PRCT), today announced the international expansion of the HYDROS Robotic System, the company's next-generation platform for delivering Aquablation therapy to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). HYDROS is the first AI-enabled robotic platform designed specifically for the treatment of BPH with Aquablation therapy. Leveraging AI-interpreted, real-time ultrasound imaging and advanced image-guided treatment planning, the system enables surgeons to deliver personalized, anatomy-specific therapy with robotic precision and reproducibility. The platform is designed to support scalable adoption across care settings while maintaining consistent procedural execution. Aquablation therapy offers a complete solution for men living with BPH. A robust body of clinical evidence continues to demonstrate Aquablation delivers durable symptom relief while preserving sexual and urinary function, outcomes that are critically important to patients. "Many men living with BPH remain on long-term medication or delay surgery because they are concerned about potential trade-offs between symptom relief and side effects," said Larry Wood, President & CEO, PROCEPT BioRobotics. "The HYDROS Robotic System expands international access to a clinically validated, next-generation AI-enabled robotic solution that delivers durable symptom relief while preserving quality of life. We are proud to bring this innovation to physicians and patients across the UK and to continue expanding our international footprint." "The HYDROS Robotic System brings AI-enabled, real-time ultrasound-guidance and robotic assisted treatment planning to NICE-recommended Aquablation therapy in the UK, supporting precise, anatomy-specific treatment," said Mr. Neil Barber, Consultant Urological Surgeon. "By combining surgeon judgement with robotic precision, Aquablation with HYDROS enables durable symptom relief and preservation of quality-of-life outcomes, including sexual and urinary function and meaningfully expands surgical choice for men living with BPH." About Aquablation Therapy Aquablation therapy is the first and only ultrasound guided, robotic-assisted, heat-free waterjet for the treatment of BPH. The system's real-time ultrasound imaging provides the surgeon with a multi-dimensional view of the prostate enabling personalized treatment planning tailored to each patient's unique anatomy. The surgeon can specify which areas of the prostate to remove while preserving the anatomy that controls erectile function, ejaculatory function and continence. Once the treatment plan is mapped by the surgeon, the predictable robotic-assisted execution enables prostate tissue to be removed in a precise, targeted and controlled fashion.
