We are a clinical-stage, medical device company developing a unique platform to induce programmed cell death (apoptosis) in soft tissue non-thermally.

The applicable worldwide market, exceeds $15 billion, and targets multiple therapeutic applications, such as tumor/cyst/unwanted tissue ablation, and multiple cosmetic applications.
The company is a technology roll-up being created to acquire the operations and IP of three companies and from two universities, enabling the corporation a dominant IP position in this technology area. In addition, the principal scientists and inventors are equity holders and will be working with the company to help further the technology platform.
