NinePoint Medical is a privately-held medical device company that designs, manufactures, and sells an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging platform for the evaluation of human tissue microstructure. The NvisionVLE® Imaging System is currently being used in gastroenterology to allow physicians to image within the wall of the esophagus. By providing a high-resolution, real-time scan of the esophagus, physicians can view structures not evident with conventional imaging, and potentially identify disease that would have otherwise been missed. Now, with the recent addition of a Real-time Targeting™ feature, physicians can not only locate, but now mark areas of interest potentially leading to improved diagnosis and more effective therapeutic decisions for patients. Using proprietary imaging and software technology, the Company is committed to enabling quicker diagnosis of disease and more effective treatments, while reducing the overall cost of healthcare.
