US-based optical coherence tomography (OCT) tissue imaging devices provider Tomophase has signed a distribution agreement with Italy-based medical device distributor MOSS to distribute its product line including the OCT Imaging System, OCTIS and the OCTIS Probes in the Italy and San Marino.
MOSS, after signing agreement, also purchased two systems for waiting Italian clinicians who are experts in pulmonary imaging, while the delivery and installation of OCTIS is scheduled for June.
The new systems for Italian medical centers follow the deployment and installation of OCTIS in Germany at the Thoraxklinik, University of Heidelberg.
Both the firms will work together to expand the availability of this innovative and much anticipated technology to the Italian medical community.
Tomophase executive chairman Dr. Peter Norris said the company's partnership with MOSS is another example for the international interest in the OCTIS platform.
"With their experience in Interventional Pulmonology, MOSS is an excellent fit for OCTIS and our goal of introducing physicians to the greatly expanded pulmonary imaging capabilities it affords," Norris added.
"The placement of OCTIS units in two major pulmonary centers in Italy is a major step forward in meeting this goal."
