Projectdetails

Introduction

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) affects nearly 50% of women over 40 years old globally. 89% of the cases seek treatment for symptomatic early-stage prolapse.

Current Challenges

Despite the high prevalence and the progression of POP over time, patients currently cannot be offered a repair solution until the condition worsens enough for surgical intervention.

Surgical Interventions

However, the surgical interventions for prolapse have several side effects, including:

  • Prolonged recovery
  • Pelvic pain
  • Relapses of POP

Innovative Solution

Escala Medical has developed a minimally invasive and incision-free repair intervention for early-stage POP repair - Apyx.

Apyx Overview

Apyx is the first medical device for treating early-stage prolapse, regaining quality of life and preventing prolapse deterioration for the vast majority of currently unaddressed POP sufferers.

Project Goals

The EIC project will:

  1. Finalize the development of Apyx
  2. Conduct clinical trials
  3. Support scale-up and commercialization activities
