Image-guided platform enables minimally invasive, tissue-sparing excision.
HOUSTON, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Prana Surgical, a Houston-based medical device company, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted clearance for the Prana System™, an electrosurgical device indicated to remove tissue and control bleeding.
The Prana System is a sterile, single-use electrosurgical tool designed for use with standard generators, enabling physicians to localize and excise tissue in a controlled, minimally invasive manner.
"Receiving FDA clearance for the Prana System represents a defining milestone for our company," said Joanna Nathan, CEO and Co-Founder of Prana Surgical. "Surgeons today are increasingly focused on achieving precise outcomes while minimizing disruption to healthy tissue. The Prana System was designed to support that shift by integrating targeting and excision into a single, streamlined tool."
Minimally invasive surgery continues to evolve toward approaches that prioritize precision, efficiency, and tissue preservation. However, many procedures still require multiple instruments or tradeoffs between access, control, and tissue conservation. The Prana System is designed to address these challenges by combining localizing and cutting capabilities within a bipolar electrosurgical platform, enabling controlled tissue removal.
"Electrosurgery is foundational to modern surgery, but there is still opportunity to improve how energy-based tools are applied in minimally invasive settings," Nathan added. "Our goal is to introduce a new class of image-guided surgical tools that enable more precise intervention across a range of procedures."
Following FDA clearance, Prana Surgical plans to initiate a controlled U.S. clinical introduction as part of its broader clinical and commercialization strategy.
