IceCure Medical Ltd. (Nasdaq: ICCM) is a commercial-stage medical device company specializing in advanced cryoablation systems and technologies. Leveraging liquid nitrogen (LN2), the company’s core offering, the ProSense® System, provides a minimally invasive alternative to surgical tumor removal by freezing tumors found in the breast, lungs, kidneys, bones, and other indications. Founded in Israel, IceCure is a pioneer in the medical field, developing solutions that offer safer, quicker, and more cost-effective treatments compared to traditional surgical interventions.
Recent Achievements:
- IceCure announced positive topline results from its ICE3 study, the largest controlled multicenter clinical trial for LN2-based cryoablation of low-risk, early-stage malignant breast tumors. Approximately 96.39% of patients were local recurrence-free after a 5-year follow-up, with no significant device-related adverse events reported.
- In April 2024, the company filed a 510(k) submission with the FDA for its next-generation single probe cryoablation system, the XSense™ System. This filing aims for clearance for all indications already approved for the ProSense® System, enhancing the system's potential to treat a range of conditions beyond breast tumors, including those in the kidney, liver, and neurology.
- Presented significant findings at the ASBrS 25th Annual Meeting, further demonstrating the efficacy of ProSense® in treating early-stage breast cancer. The presentation garnered strong interest and positive feedback from leading breast surgeons.
- Received regulatory approvals in Brazil, Canada, and China, expanding its global footprint. The company has also entered new distribution agreements in Portugal, India, and Brazil, facilitating the first breast cryoablation procedure in India.
Financial Performance:
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, IceCure reported a 26% increase in sales compared to the previous year, transitioning from a research and development phase to a commercial phase. The company’s revenues reached $3.2 million, with a significant portion driven by ProSense® system and disposable probe sales. Despite an overall net loss of $14.7 million, IceCure managed to reduce its operating expenses, enhancing its financial stability.
Partnerships and Pipeline:
IceCure is collaborating with several medical institutions and partners globally, focusing on expanding the clinical applications of ProSense®. Numerous third-party studies are underway to explore new indications such as endometriosis and kidney cancer, showcasing ProSense®’s versatility and potential for broader adoption.

IceCure Medical (Nasdaq: ICCM) announced the publication of an independent study on its ProSense® cryoablation system in the British Journal of Radiology. The study, led by Dr. Franco Orsi at the European Institute of Oncology, demonstrated a 97.7% technical success rate in treating tumors of the lung, bone, and soft tissues. ProSense®, a liquid nitrogen-based system, was found to have favorable safety compared to argon-based systems and to be more cost-effective and easier to manage.
The study assessed 85 patients with 96 lesions, showing only minor complications that resolved without significant intervention. It highlighted cryoablation's growing role in early oncology treatments, particularly for patients with comorbidities or those avoiding surgery. The research also emphasized interventional radiology as the fourth pillar of oncology, alongside clinical oncology, surgical oncology, and radiation therapy.
