The Histolog® Scanner enables real-time, ultra-fast confocal microscopy, allowing for the immediate imaging of resected tissues. This advancement aims to enable physicians to improve their efficiency.
“We are thrilled to introduce the Histolog® Scanner to the U.S. market,” said Dr. Charles Carignan, Executive Chairman of SamanTree Medical. “This FDA clearance is a significant milestone for the company. The ability of the Histolog® Scanner to produce real-time imaging of the internal microstructure of tissues provides surgeons and pathologists with immediate, actionable information.”
Prof. Dr. Alex Mottrie, Head of the Urological Department OLV Hospital, Aalst, Belgium and CEO of ORSI Academy, Ghent, Belgium, commented on the impact of this new technology: “The Histolog® Scanner represents cutting-edge technology in imaging of freshly excised tissue. Its ability to provide high-resolution, real-time images allows us to make more informed decisions.”
Prof. Dr. Ari D. Brooks, Director of Endocrine and Oncologic Surgery, Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia, PA said “The Histolog technology has the potential to significantly reduce the cost, resources and delays associated with the current lack of real-time high-resolution imaging”. Prof Dr. Douglas Scherr, Clinical Director of Urologic Oncology at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University said “Providing imaging data at this resolution has the potential to aid in patient care. In our practice and across Urology, as a field, we are facing limitations in the ability to provide timely decisions to our patients. We will count on the Histolog Scanner to provide us with the ability to image the tissues’ microstructures in real-time and to enable us to make immediate decisions.”
The FDA clearance of the Histolog® Scanner marks a crucial moment in SamanTree Medical’s mission to expand its innovative imaging solutions globally. With this clearance, SamanTree is set to accelerate its U.S. market entry, ensuring that more healthcare providers can leverage the benefits of this cutting-edge technology.
