Viveve Announces FDA 510K Approval to Expand Manufacturing of Treatment Tips

 

-  Approval strengthens supply chain and reduces manufacturing costs for consumable component used with Viveve’s Cryogen-cooled Monopolar Radiofrequency technology

 

 

ENGLEWOOD, CO – December 3, 2020 – Viveve Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIVE), a medical technology company focused on women's intimate health, today announced 510(k) clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expanding manufacturing capacity for its consumable treatment tips used with the Company’s Cryogen-cooled Monopolar Radiofrequency (CMRF) technology. Expanded manufacturing capacity will help Viveve continually meet market demand while reducing manufacturing costs.

 

“We are pleased that the FDA has approved the expansion of our consumable treatment tip manufacturing capabilities. In addition to significant reductions in tip manufacturing costs, the expansion strengthens our supply chain, reduces manufacturing risk, and positions us to support increases in treatment tip demand and utilization,” said Scott Durbin, Viveve’s chief executive officer. “Reducing costs and increasing operational and commercial efficiency are key initiatives as we continue to support our customers and prepare to launch our pivotal PURSUIT trial for improvement of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in the U.S. in the near future.”
