Uptake Medical is a small medical device company based in Seattle, Washington, focused on technologies for treating lung diseases. Its lead product, InterVapor, provided an endoscopic approach to reducing lung volume in patients with severe emphysema, aiming to harness the body's natural healing processes without leaving implanted material in the lung. In 2016 the company was acquired by Broncus Holding Corp through its subsidiary Uptake Medical Technology Inc. The primary customers are healthcare providers and facilities treating severe emphysema, seeking less invasive options to improve lung function. Following the 2016 transaction, Uptake Medical operates within Broncus Holding Corp's portfolio of respiratory medical technologies.
