Business Summary
PLC Systems, Inc. has developed a patented high-powered carbon dioxide laser system, known as The Heart Laser (HL1), for use in the treatment of severe coronary artery disease (CAD). The HL1 is used in a surgical laser procedure, pioneered by the Company and its clinical investigators, known as transmyocardial revascularization (TMR). In January 2001, the Company obtained United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval to market its second-generation laser, the CO(2) Heart Laser 2 (HL2). The HL2 is less than half the weight and size than the HL1, but delivers the equivalent laser energy, wavelength and beam characteristics.
