MONTERIS MEDICAL

Monteris Medical is a medical device venture that develops new technologies for the treatment of cancer. It is a private equity-backed neurosurgical company focused solely on diseases of the brain. It develops MRI-guided, laser-based systems designed for the ablation of brain lesions. The company's system applies focused laser energy to ablate brain tumors from the inside, with little or no effect on surrounding healthy tissue as well as provides clinicians a new neurosurgical tool that offers r... eal-time control and visualization of the therapy during laser ablation treatment, enabling neurosurgeons to ablate (treat with lethal heat) brain lesions and brain tumors that may be difficult to approach via traditional methods. It was founded in 1999 and has offices in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA and Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.More
