EDAP TMS S.A. (EDAP), incorporated on December 3, 1979, develops and markets the Ablatherm device, an advanced choice for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment of localized prostate cancer.

It is also used for patients who failed a radiotherapy treatment. In addition, the Company is developing HIFU technology for the treatment of certain other types of tumors. The Company also produces and commercializes medical equipment for treatment of urinary tract stones using Extra-corporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL). The Company operates in two divisions: high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and urology devices and services (UDS).
