Less than three years after unveiling the first Sonovein device, Theraclion SA is launching its CE-marked, third-generation platform, Sonovein HD. This represents a new generation of robotics platform for noninvasive treatment of varicose veins. The new version integrates the acquisition and analysis of technical data during the procedure.
Toosonix A/S has launched two trials as it moves to gather data enabling its high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device to get approval for use in clinical dermatology indications. The company reported on April 19 that the first patients have been treated in a trial of its System One-M device in treating basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Meanwhile, the first patient has been cleared for treatment on April 28 in a study in neurofibromatosis, an inherited condition that causes benign tumors to form on the skin.
