ULGX

Urologix Inc

A medical device maker that builds minimally invasive, in-office treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as an enlarged prostate. Its main therapies include Cooled ThermoTherapy, which delivers targeted microwave energy through a cooled catheter to protect healthy tissue, and the Prostiva radiofrequency system. The company was founded in 1991 by John Reid, who got the idea while traveling the country in an RV and watching men struggle with a choice between daily medication or surgery; his "something in the middle" approach led to the Targis system, the company's first FDA-approved product, in 1997.
