Lung cancer remains a significant challenge, but progress offers hope. At Prana Surgical, we are committed to advancing innovation in care. The survival rate has risen by 26% over the last five years, reflecting the impact of early detection and treatment. Early diagnosis is critical, as lung cancer is often treatable with surgery before it spreads. Screening programs continue to save lives, but with 235,000 new diagnoses expected this year, the need for awareness and innovation is greater than ever. We remain focused on developing a technology that improves early detection and outcomes, offering hope to patients and families. #PranaSurgical #LungCancerAwareness #EarlyDetection #HealthcareInnovation

Prana Surgical is excited to present at LSI USA '25 in Dana Point! CEO Joanna Nathan will take the stage on March 19th to highlight our groundbreaking approach to minimally invasive lung tissue excision for early interception of lung cancer. The Prana System? is designed to right-size surgical management options, enabling clinicians to safely extract pulmonary nodules or other concerning tissue. Aiming to provide surgeons with enhanced precision, greater control, and improved procedural efficiency, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. Heading to #LSIUSA25? We’d love to connect—reach out to schedule a meeting and learn more about Prana Surgical.?

On February 26, Prana Surgical CEO Joanna Nathan participated as a panelist at the Bayou City Bio Pulse event, presented by BioHouston and the Greater Houston Partnership. Moderated by Kristen Doyle, CEO of Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT), the panel also featured Devin Dunn and Dr. Cassian Yee, highlighting the impact of CPRIT funding in advancing life sciences innovation in Houston. CPRIT’s continued investment in life sciences fuels groundbreaking research, supports commercialization efforts, and strengthens Houston’s position as a leader in biotechnology and medical innovation. Thank you to BioHouston and the Greater Houston Partnership for hosting this important discussion. #PranaSurgical #CPRIT #BioHouston #LifeSciences #MedTech #HoustonInnovation

Surgical innovation is transforming patient care, redefining how interventions are performed. Traditional approaches often force difficult trade-offs—either removing too much healthy tissue or failing to obtain sufficient samples for an accurate diagnosis. These limitations can delay treatment decisions and impact long-term outcomes. The Prana System? is designed to eliminate these challenges by enabling minimally invasive, image-guided interventions that strike the right balance between tissue preservation and diagnostic adequacy. By integrating seamlessly into existing workflows, it provides surgeons with enhanced precision, greater control, and improved procedural efficiency, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes.

Adopting new surgical technology comes with challenges, and one of the most significant is ensuring seamless integration into existing workflows. Disruptive transitions can lead to inefficiencies, prolonged learning curves, and hesitancy in adoption. The Prana System? is designed to eliminate these barriers by complementing current surgical practices while enhancing precision, efficiency, and consistency. Built for seamless workflow adoption, it enables surgeons to transition to more minimally invasive techniques without compromising their established methods. By integrating innovative image-guided capabilities into familiar procedures, we aim to help surgeons elevate patient outcomes while maintaining efficiency in the operating room.

Self-care isn’t just about chocolates and roses—it’s about making your health a priority. This Valentine’s Day, take action by focusing on early detection and proactive care because catching cancer early can make all the difference. Here are three ways to prioritize early detection: ?? Send yourself a reminder to schedule routine screenings – Regular check-ups and cancer screenings can identify concerns before symptoms appear. Talk to your doctor about which screenings are right for you. ?? Know what makes you unique – Family history, lifestyle, and environmental exposures can all impact cancer risk. Stay informed and take preventive steps where possible. ?? Listen to your heart (and body!) – Don’t ignore persistent symptoms like unexplained weight loss, fatigue, or lingering pain. Early evaluation can lead to earlier intervention. At Prana Surgical, we are advancing minimally invasive, precision-driven solutions that empower patients and physicians to make the best decisions for their disease. By enabling earlier interventions and preserving healthy tissue, we are helping to shape a future where patients have more options and better outcomes. Loving yourself starts with taking control of your health—because early action can save lives. #LoveYourHealth #EarlyDetection #CancerAwareness #MinimallyInvasive #PrecisionSurgery #PranaSurgical #ValentinesDay

We are committed to advancing precision-driven surgical solutions that redefine how complex conditions are diagnosed and treated. Our pipeline is focused on delivering innovative, minimally invasive technologies that improve surgical decision-making, enhance patient outcomes, and expand access to high-quality care. Our vision begins with addressing the challenges of biopsy by enabling definitive diagnosis and molecular profiling, supporting personalized, stage-appropriate therapies that align with the evolving standards of precision medicine. Beyond diagnosis, our approach extends to enabling adjuvant therapy, incorporating localized treatment for early-stage cancer or metastases to provide a more tailored approach to patient care. Looking ahead, we see broad potential for our platform beyond thoracic applications. Our technology is being developed for use in interstitial lung disease (ILD) and other solid organ interventions. As we continue to innovate, our goal is to expand the role of minimally invasive, image-guided surgery across multiple disciplines, ensuring that more patients have access to advanced surgical care that balances precision, efficiency, and long-term outcomes. #SurgicalInnovation #PrecisionMedicine #MinimallyInvasiveSurgery #BiopsyAdvancement #ResectionTech #HealthcareTechnology #PranaSurgical
