A California-based healthcare company turned heads during Tuesdayβs session after the companyβs stock was halted following the U.S. patent award for its βAtherectomy Catheter Drive Assembliesβ, according to a press release.
Traders were quick to snatch up shares of Avinger Inc. (Nasdaq:AVGR), pushing the micro cap up to $1.93/share (+200.44%) at the early session high. This move was a strong breakout from the multi-month downtrend this stock has been corralled by since May.
