Merz Aesthetics to Distribute AccuVein’s Visualization System
The AccuVein AV500 device and its accessories are available from Merz Aesthetics and its network of authorized sales representatives.
Merz Aesthetics is now the sole authorized distributor of AccuVein’s vein visualization system in the U.S. aesthetics market.
A limited initial AccuVein field pilot yielded positive results and significant expansion of both new customers and Merz Aesthetics portfolio adoption. Based on the pilot findings, the Merz Aesthetics and AccuVein strategic partnership will now move to scaled national launch. The AccuVein AV500 device and its accessories are available from Merz Aesthetics and its network of authorized sales representatives.
“We are pleased to add AccuVein’s vein visualization device to the growing portfolio offered by Merz Aesthetics. This agreement enables us to deliver yet another tool that has the potential to evolve the patient experience,” says Patrick Urban, President of Merz Aesthetics North America, in a news release. “Our commitment to fuel confidence is amplified through partnerships such as this one, and we are excited to continue expanding solutions for our customers to make it easy to work with us.”
AccuVein AV500 uses near-infrared technology to project a vivid map of the vasculature directly on the patient’s skin, revealing the superficial veins, bifurcations, and valves often invisible to the naked eye. In cosmetic injectable procedures, AccuVein helps providers personalize treatment to each patient’s anatomy by locating and avoiding veins, which improves the placement accuracy of injectables, increasing overall patient satisfaction.
“Patients are demanding a higher standard of care when they seek care from a provider,” adds Dr. Tom Hopkins, Chief Medical Officer of AccuVein. ““Using AccuVein technology to identify veins, clinicians can significantly enhance the patient experience by using the device that is designed to optimize patient safety in a cost-effective manner.”
