  • Sanarus Medical

    Sanarus Medical has entered into a partnership with leading breast care physicians from select centers across the country. The collaboration will increase the awareness and availability of Visica 2, Sanarus' innovative, non-surgical treatment option for women with benign breast tumors known as fibroadenomas.

    The Visica 2 System has been available at select sites since April, 2007, and follows on the success of the original Visica Treatment System, which has treated more than 1,500 fibroadenomas. The Visica 2 Treatment System uses liquid nitrogen as the freezing agent, which allows for a more efficient, faster treatment. The procedure can be completed in the physician's office, with most treatment times under 15 minutes.

    "I am very pleased to be a part of this important program that will offer more options to my patients," says Andrew Kenler, M.D., a surgeon from Connecticut. "This technology makes cryoablation easier and faster than ever before and not only does that make sense for my practice, it makes the procedure very appealing to my patients."
