Over 8,000 participants are expected at the EADV's 22nd Annual Congress.
The Company will be demonstrating Aura™, an innovative device for the detection of all major forms of skin cancer and precancerous lesions, in support of sales and marketing efforts in Europe. Interested parties are invited to view Aura™ at our Exhibit Booth #31.
The European medical device market is the second largest in the world, worth over $78 billion and representing 30 per cent of the world market - second only to the United States. Last year, Aura™ received the Conformite Europeenne (CE) Mark approval. CE Mark is recognized by all the 27 Member States of the EU.
Verisante Aura™ is indicated for use for the evaluation of skin lesions that may be clinically suspicious for melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and/or actinic keratosis when a medical professional chooses to obtain additional information to rule out one of the above conditions before making a final decision to biopsy. Aura™ is a non-invasive optical system that uses Raman spectroscopy to biochemically analyze the skin, providing immediate results. The device will help to automate the current process of diagnosis, allowing rapid scanning of the 20 to 40 skin lesions on at-risk individuals, improving patient outcomes and comfort.
