New Business Segment: Treatment of Fibroadenoma - UMS AG Signs Agreement
with IceCure
Hamburg, May 18, 2011 - UMS United Medical Systems International AG (UMS/
ISIN DE0005493654) has entered into an exclusive agreement in the United
States with IceCure Medical, an innovative provider of medical technology
from Israel, for the mobile deployment of IceCure's medical product
IceSense3 for cryoablation. IceSense3 is approved by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) in the United States for the treatment of benign
tumors in the female breast (fibroadenoma).
The partnership with IceCure adds an additional treatment field to UMS's
breast care segment. Cryoablation or cryotherapy is a non-invasive
procedure to remove benign tumors in the female breast. In the United
States alone around 500,000 of these tumors are surgically removed every
year.
UMS plans to build up the U.S. market for mobile services using IceSense3
in the next six to twelve months. By offering daily mobile cryoablation
systems in combination with modern ultrasound technology, UMS is expanding
its services to physicians to include another full-service package on
