Focal One® HIFU: A Breakthrough in Prostate Care — Complete Overview for India

Introduction

Prostate cancer and other prostate-related disorders are increasing globally, and modern patients are demanding safer, faster, and minimally invasive treatment options. In this landscape, Focal One® > has emerged as one of the world’s most advanced, robot-assisted HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) platforms. Designed specifically for focal therapy, Focal One allows doctors to precisely target and destroy diseased prostate tissue—while preserving healthy tissue and minimizing side effects.

For hospitals, urology centres, and clinicians looking for next-generation prostate solutions, Focal One offers a powerful combination of precision, comfort, and long-term clinical reliability.

What is Focal One®?

Focal One® is a robotic, image-guided HIFU system engineered exclusively for the treatment of localized prostate cancer. It integrates three powerful components:

  • Real-time ultrasound imaging
  • Fusion of MRI / 3D biopsy data
  • High-precision HIFU ablation technology

The result is a fully digital and robotic platform that allows doctors to identify, target, and ablate cancerous tissue with unmatched accuracy.

Unlike traditional prostate surgery or radiation, Focal One uses focused ultrasound energy—meaning no incisions, no radiation, and minimal recovery time.


How Focal One® Works

Focal One delivers treatment through a highly advanced combination of imaging + targeting + therapeutic energy:

1. Imaging Integration

Doctors can fuse:

  • MRI scans
  • Targeted/ systematic biopsy information
  • Live ultrasound

This provides an exact map of the prostate and cancer lesions.

2. Precise Targeting

Focal One’s robotic system automatically positions the HIFU transducer.
The physician chooses the exact area to ablate—down to millimetres.

3. HIFU Ablation

High-temperature ultrasound waves are focused at a single point inside the prostate.
This destroys only the diseased tissue, preserving healthy zones and reducing complications.

4. Real-time Monitoring

The system allows continuous monitoring and fine adjustment during the procedure.

Average procedure time: 45–90 minutes
Hospital stay: Same-day or next-day discharge
Recovery: Much faster than surgery or radiation


Advantages of Focal One®

1. Non-invasive and Safe

  • No surgical cuts
  • No radiation
  • Minimal bleeding or infection risk

2. Tissue Preservation

Because Focal One targets only the cancerous area, key functions such as:

  • Urinary continence
  • Sexual function

are far better preserved compared to radical surgery.

3. Rapid Recovery

  • Short procedure
  • Minimal pain
  • Quick return to normal life

4. Strong Clinical Outcomes

Global clinical studies have shown:

  • Cancer control comparable to radical prostatectomy
  • Significantly better functional outcomes

5. Flexible Treatment Planning

Focal One can be used for:

  • Focal therapy (single lesion)
  • Hemi-gland ablation
  • Multi-focal ablation
  • Whole-gland ablation, if needed

This makes it adaptable to different patient needs.


Why Focal One® is Important for India

India faces rapid growth in lifestyle diseases, including prostate disorders. Traditional surgeries often involve:

  • High cost
  • Long hospital stays
  • Higher complication risks
  • Longer recovery

Focal One offers Indian hospitals and patients:

  • Modern, minimally invasive cancer care
  • Faster patient turnover
  • Higher patient satisfaction
  • Reduced hospital resource burden
  • Global-standard clinical outcomes

For private hospitals and urology centres, Focal One is a strong differentiator that enhances:

  • Technology leadership
  • Brand image
  • Clinical excellence

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?

Focal One is best suited for patients with:

  • Localized prostate cancer
  • MRI-visible lesions
  • Desire to avoid major surgery
  • Need for rapid recovery

It is highly recommended for:

  • Older patients
  • Working professionals
  • Patients worried about side-effects
  • Those seeking organ-preserving therapy
