AUA 2026

AUA 2026 marked Mendaera’s debut on the exhibit floor in Washington, D.C., with a new booth and hands-on demonstrations of the Focalist™ System. Urologists explored how handheld robotics and ultrasound can support precision and confidence when gaining access for needle-based procedures, including percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and sacral neuromodulation (SNM). The meeting also provided a valuable opportunity to reconnect with physician partners whose insights continue to inform the evolution of Focalist.

Another highlight was the inaugural FOCUS meeting, Mendaera’s first event dedicated to the growing Focalist user community. Physician partners came together to exchange experiences, offer feedback and discuss opportunities for the platform’s continued development. Mendaera left Washington energized by the engagement, collaboration and conversations throughout the meeting.
