Francis Medical is developing minimally invasive treatment solutions for prostate, kidney, and bladder cancer through the use of convective thermal water vapor. Currently, the company is in clinical trials for ablating cancerous prostate tissue. Founded in 2018, Francis Medical is located in Maple Grove, Minnesota.
Francis Medical, Inc., formerly named NxPhase Medical, Inc., is a company that was created after Boston Scientific (BSC) acquired NxThera, Inc. in April of 2018.
As a part of the BSC/NxThera transaction, a separate and independent entity, NxPHASE Medical, Inc. (“NxPHASE”), was established, and shares of NxPHASE were distributed to the shareholders of BSC/NxThera. In addition, BSC/NxThera granted NxPHASE a license to utilize BSC/NxThera’s convective vapor ablation technology to develop, evaluate, and commercialize certain devices to treat prostate, kidney and bladder cancer (“NxPHASE Field of Use”), while BSC/NxThera remains focused on the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Late in 2018, NxPhase Medical, Inc. went through a rebranding process and selected Francis Medical, Inc. as its new brand and identity. The name and foundation of the company are a tribute to and legacy of Michael Hoey’s (founder/inventor) father, Francis Hoey, whose life was ended by prostate cancer with treatments that had harsh implications on his normal daily living.
In December 2018, Francis Medical completed an $18.0 million round of Series A financing. In September 2021, the company closed a $55 Million Series B Equity Financing.

The NeuMoDx™ Molecular systems are a family of scalable platforms that fully integrate the entire molecular diagnostic process from “sample to result.” The NeuMoDx™ 288 and the NeuMoDx™ 96 Molecular systems are fully automated, continuous random-access analyzers that utilize proprietary NeuDry reagent technology, which integrates magnetic particle affinity capture and real time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) chemistry in a multi-sample microfluidic cartridge. This technology, combined with a platform, uniquely incorporates robotics and microfluidics that result in higher throughput, improved performance, and increased efficiency by eliminating the waste associated with technologies that require reconstitution of lyophilized reagents.
NeuMoDx™ has recently received FDA 510(k) clearance for its NeuMoDx™ GBS Assay for the detection of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) DNA in antepartum pregnant women and will continue development of tests to detect and monitor sexually transmitted and infectious diseases. Additionally, NeuMoDx™ offers a broad range of general purpose reagents and consumables for use by laboratorians in developing qualitative and quantitative Laboratory Developed Tests (LDTs) for use with the NeuMoDx™ Molecular Systems to detect and amplify DNA and RNA targets.

CardioMEMS is a medical device company that has developed and is commercializing a proprietary wireless sensing and communication technology for the human body. Our technology platform is designed to improve the management of severe chronic cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure and aneurysms. Our miniature wireless sensors can be implanted using minimally invasive techniques and transmit cardiac output, blood pressure and heart rate data that are critical to the management of patients. Due to their small size, durability, and lack of wires and batteries, our sensors are designed to be permanently implanted into the cardiovascular system. Using radiofrequency, or RF, energy, our sensors transmit real-time data to an external electronics module, which then communicates this information to the patient’s physician.
