CYNO Cynosure - Class A (MM)

WESTFORD, Mass., June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cynosure, Inc. (NASDAQ:CYNO), a leading developer and manufacturer of lasers and pulsed light sources, today announced it has received Class III medical device license approval from Health Canada to market and sell its flagship Cynergy(R) workstation with MultiPlex(TM) technology in Canada. "Canada represents an important market for our products," said Michael R. Davin, CEO of Cynosure, Inc. "With this Health Canada approval, physicians throughout the United States and Canada can now use the Cynergy workstation with MultiPlex technology for numerous conditions that were previously deemed untreatable or difficult to treat, doing so with a greater control of outcome, patient comfort and safety. "We believe the Cynergy workstation with MultiPlex technology is the premier laser technology for vascular applications, and an important dermatological tool that addresses many cosmetic applications from veins, birthmarks and pigmented lesions, to high volume services such as hair removal and skin rejuvenation," Davin said. The Cynergy workstation with MultiPlex technology is the first system available that can sequentially emit with rapid succession, two wavelengths from the same fiber optic -- a pulsed dye laser and an Nd:YAG laser. The adjustable time delay between pulses increases the safety and effectiveness of laser treatment. Cynosure plans to market the Cynergy workstation with MultiPlex technology in Canada through its direct sales force. "We believe international markets can be key contributors in driving the adoption of our Cynergy workstation with MultiPlex technology," Davin said. "Initial demand in the United States has been strong, and we are looking to continue this success in Canada." In a clinical study presented at the American Society for Lasers in Medicine and Surgery in April 2006, by Dr. Emil Tanghetti, M.D., clinical professor of cosmetic dermatology at the University of California, Davis, it was shown that treatments utilizing the Cynergy workstation with MultiPlex technology have an improved effectiveness in addressing facial and leg telangiectasia when compared to treatments using a pulsed dye laser or an Nd:YAG laser individually. This study demonstrated that in 75 percent of the patients treated with this system, 70-80% clearance was achieved for these types of lesions with a single treatment. About Cynosure, Inc.
