"We are very pleased to have received the 510(k) Clearance Letter from the FDA so that we can begin to immediately provide the dental community with our non-invasive and drug free solution to relieve pain due to surgical and other procedures. Oralase will not only relieve the pain by accelerating tissue repair, but it will provide patients the increased comfort of accelerated healing," said Steve Guillen B.Sc., M.B.A., president and chief executive officer, MedX Health. "Through our partnership with Technology4Medicine, we expect to fulfill a great unmet need in the dental community as well as other markets including dermatology and plastic surgery."
"With this FDA clearance, we will offer Oralase to dentists across the U.S. taking dentistry to a new level, increasing production for the dental office, and providing a better experience for patients," stated Jeffrey W. Jones, chief executive officer of Technology4Medicine. "We are looking forward to launching Oralase at booth #3051 at the upcoming American Dental Association meeting in San Antonio, TX, October 15-18. Oralase should be a fundamental component of today's high tech practice. It can dramatically differentiate today's dentist. We believe we have a winning formula in bringing the latest technology for quick uptake and use in this $1 Billion marketplace."
About Oralase(TM)
Oralase is an ergonomically designed portable low level laser device that offers dental staff a proven, drug-free solution to reduce or eliminate pain and accelerate soft and hard tissue repair. Oralase is designed to effectively control pain and decrease swelling from invasive dental procedures as well as stimulate healing.
About Low-Level Laser Therapy
For more than 35 years, LLLT has been used in Europe, Australia, Asia and Russia for the treatment of pain and tissue repair. MedX's LLLT was approved in Canada in 1999 and in the United States in 2002. LLLT uses a specific type of light to penetrate the skin's surface and underlying tissues to stimulate the body's natural repair processes. The result is faster healing and reduced pain, swelling and inflammation. The technology has advanced laser therapy significantly, and Oralase embodies the new generation of photobiomodulation technology for health care today.
