- Business
- Urologix, Inc. (ULGX) develops, manufactures, markets, and distributes minimally invasive medical products for the treatment of obstruction and symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in the United States. The company offers Cooled ThermoTherapy (CTT), which produces targeted microwave energy combined with a cooling mechanism to protect healthy tissue and enhance patient comfort; and Prostiva RF Therapy System, which delivers radio frequency energy directly into the prostate to destroy excess tissue, reduce urethral constriction, and relieve BPH symptoms. Urologix, LLC serves urologists and patients seeking office-based alternatives to medication or surgery, with operations focused on the U.S. market.
Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the company emphasizes safe, durable in-office therapies that demonstrate long-term efficacy, including symptom score and flow rate improvements in over 90% of CTT patients and 86% of Prostiva patients through five years.
In 2016, Urologix sold most operating assets to a private buyer to settle debt with Medtronic, transitioning to private ownership as Urologix, LLC while retaining Plymouth, Minnesota operations and continuing to provide Cooled ThermoTherapy and Prostiva RF Therapy without customer disruption; no major acquisitions, funding rounds, partnerships, or product launches have been reported since.
