The approach

This is the first therapeutic treatment that uses advanced LED

technology in a self-powered, disposable device which can be

deployed inside a body cavity. The device contains a LED light

source that in combination with a medicinal product initiates a

photochemical reaction in exposed tissue.

The end result

“This is the first ever non-surgical treatment for HPV and

precancerous lesions of the cervix to be successfully

developed. If this sophisticated and breakthrough device is

accepted, it will make way for a new era in cervical cancer

treatment that will not only minimise patient risk and suffering

but could also help reduce the burden of HPV on healthcare

systems.”Dr. Peter Hillemanns, Professor and Chairman at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Medical University Hannover andPrincipal investigator for the trial
