About the Sentinel BreastScan™
The Sentinel BreastScan is an advanced non-invasive infrared breast imaging system used as an adjunctive modality by doctors specializing in breast imaging and breast cancer treatment. Utilizing infrared imaging and proprietary software employing artificial intelligence techniques, Sentinel BreastScan™ is designed to be used as an adjunctive test with mammography, ultrasound or clinical examination for the early detection of breast cancer. It is an FDA-510k cleared, non-invasive touchless procedure offered to women of any age, to help determine current breast health. Test results are immediately available in the form of a fully-interpreted, objective report, to assist in the doctor's determination of breast health.
We also plan to expand the role of our infrared imaging technology, in accordance with our FDA 510k, "indications for use" and devote R&D resources to the detection of skin cancer. Skin cancer has no approved imaging modalities and is detected by visual observation by a dermatologist followed by subsequent biopsy of suspicious lesions. Our early research has shown the ability of our technology to detect certain invisible skin cancers.
About the Maneuverable Guidewire
This guidewire (US Patent 7,141,024 Nov 28, 2006) is unique, easy to use, and intended for use in all PTCA procedures. The maneuverable coiled guidewire is based on the "Buckling" theory in which the tip is bent according to the force applied to it. It is made of a high grade stainless steel PTFE (Teflon) coated coil and a thin wire disposed in it. The distal end of the coil is treated in such a way that when the inner wire is pulled the distal tip buckles and bends accordingly. This feature is designed to allow the doctor to easily maneuver through the most tortuous vessels. CVSL plans to aggressively seek strategic partners through licensing agreements and joint ventures to manufacture and/or distribute the guidewire.
