InterVapor (BTVA)

About Uptake Medical

Uptake Medical is a commercial-stage medical device company pioneering Bronchoscopic Thermal Vapor Ablation (BTVA) for the treatment of severe emphysema and lung cancer. Its core technology delivers heated water vapor through a bronchoscope to ablate diseased lung tissue, offering a non-surgical alternative to lung volume reduction surgery. While the company is commercial outside the US, its InterVapor system is not yet approved by the FDA, representing a significant future opportunity. Uptake Medical operates as a subsidiary of the publicly traded Broncus Medical Corporation, which provides strategic and operational integration.
