Strategic distribution partnership with Thomy F.E., d.o.o.

Tampere, Finland, 15 October 2025—Marginum Ltd, a Finnish medical technology company specialising in fluorescence-based tissue monitoring systems, has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Thomy F.E., d.o.o., one of Slovenia’s leading distributors of medical and surgical technologies. Through this strategic partnership, Thomy F.E. will distribute Marginum’s HIVEN® device in Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, expanding access to the company’s groundbreaking aspirate tissue monitoring solution across Central and Southeastern European markets.
 
The HIVEN® device, developed by Marginum, is intended for tissue fluorescence detection during fluorescence-guided surgical operations for suspected high-grade gliomas in which 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is used. The device detects fluorescence of flowing tissues within a transparent tube and provides auditory feedback of tissue fluorescence for neurosurgeons. Designed to support surgeons in achieving more precise tissue differentiation and improved surgical outcomes, HIVEN® embodies Marginum’s commitment to innovation, patient safety and clinical excellence.
