medPhoton ImagingRing

Compact proton therapy systems provider Mevion Medical Systems has announced the signing of a strategic agreement with medPhoton GmbH.

Mevion Medical Systems will integrate its pencil beam scanning proton therapy system, MEVION S250i system with HYPERSCAN, into medPhoton GmbH's cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) system, ImagingRing, to provide less complex workflow and more precise and efficient proton treatment delivery.

The product integration will enable clinicians to provide the latest image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) technology and enable them to track anatomical changes throughout the course of treatment. It will also allow them to adapt the treatment plan as required to ensure accurate proton dose delivery.

Cosmetic laser solutions provider Laser Lab Corp intends to provide exclusive licensing rights to market and sell its Green Laser to Medifirst Solutions.

The product is an anti-aging and aesthetic treatment, which gently restores and lightly resurfaces the tissue of the skin. It can be used to treat skin spots, wrinkles, acne, hyper-pigmentation, scars, skin detoxification, stretch marks and cellulite.

Medifirst plans to file for FDA clearance for the product before the end of this year.
