AngioDynamics to Rename Laser Venous System
VenaCure is a minimally invasive alternative for the treatment of severe varicose veins. The procedure lasts about 45 minutes and offers patients an effective out-patient alternative to surgical ligation and vein stripping.
AngioDynamics developed the name VenaCure as a way to establish name recognition for the products used in a procedure that is becoming more and more popular with patients as well as doctors. The Company will use the patient friendly name in conjunction with its marketing welcome kit, to further assist physicians in developing and marketing this aspect of their practice.
The current kit, an all-inclusive marketing package, recently received the "Award of Excellence" in the Dealer/Distributor Materials Category at the 29th Annual Pro-Comm Awards -- the longest running and most respected business-to-business marketing communications awards program in the U.S.
Commenting for AngioDynamics, Product Manager David Doster, said, "We are excited to launch the new VenaCure brand name, a change that reflects our ongoing commitment to increase public awareness of this important procedure. Through programs like the new VenaCure web site and our award-winning 'business in a box' welcome kit, we will continue to support physicians who partner with us with patient information and services."
