CLINICAL RESEARCH
Multidisciplinary research on the safety and performance of HIVEN® device and the novel aspirate tissue monitoring surgical method.
Our clinical research demonstrates that the HIVEN® device increases the detection of fluorescence during surgery [1]. Fluorescence detection has been shown to lead to more complete tumour resection and improved progression-free survival. According to experts, the aspirate tissue monitoring technique using HIVEN® provides supplementary information on tissue fluorescence for surgeons [2, 3] and 483% more information in comparison to visual fluorescence guidance [4].
