VenaCure-EVLT.com offers practice development tools, helps patients find physicians
QUEENSBURY, N.Y. November 5, 2009 - AngioDynamics (NASDAQ: ANGO) launched a new Web site at the American College of Phlebology's 23rd Annual Congress giving physicians access to practice development tools and updates on the treatment of venous disease. It also features content targeted to patients, including a physician locator for patients seeking doctors who use the VenaCure EVLT™ system, and provides email, phone and website referrals to AngioDynamics' customers.
Key features of VenaCure-EVLT.com unveiled at the Congress - held in Palm Desert, California, November 5-8 - include a section for physicians that augments what is already the industry's most comprehensive vein practice development program. In addition to information on its entire endovenous laser therapy product line, VenaCure-EVLT.com provides marketing support tools, reimbursement information, a link to a fully accredited Continuing Medical Education course, thorough clinical and technical information and a dedicated AngioDynamics contact for personalized customer care.
"AngioDynamics' new VenaCure-EVLT.com site is another way in which we continue to build our place as the leader in laser vein ablation, creating a destination where physicians can get valuable support for their practice and up-to-date information on what we know about varicose veins, spider veins and appropriate treatments," said Shawn McCarthy, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Company's Peripheral Vascular Business Unit. "VenaCure-EVLT.com will also be a valuable tool for patients, giving them access to useful and fresh information, and making it easier for them to understand the underlying disease. We believe physicians working with us will see an increase in patients who are looking for the right solution."
VenaCure-EVLT.com gives patients an understanding of the progressive disease underlying varicose veins, relevant clinical findings, updates on insurance coverage and an electronic newsletter that regularly keeps subscribers apprised of advancements in varicose vein laser ablation.
