VANCOUVER, British Columbia—LED Medical Diagnostics has announced the availability of the VELscope Vx Enhanced Oral Assessment System in China, marking the expansion of its technology to a key emerging market in one of the world’s largest economies.

The official launch in China took place in Shanghai in late October during DenTech China. The VELscope is now available in China exclusively through Prospect Dentech, a subsidiary of SINOPHARM and the largest stomatological medicine and equipment distributor in China. The initial stocking order of VELscope systems has now been delivered with fulfillment of local sales beginning in the coming days.

“Oral squamous cell cancers, the most common type of oral cancers, are more prevalent in South-Central Asia than in some other geographical regions” said Wayne Rees, vice president of VELscope Imaging for LED Dental. “As in other world regions, dental practitioners and other healthcare workers in China bear the front line responsibility for screening and the early detection of oral cancers to help improve the survival rate and treatment outcomes.”

With more than 4,000 hospitals and a rapid growth of private dental clinics, China is uniquely suited for adoption of VELscope technology. Prospect Dentech has initiated an aggressive marketing strategy, leveraging their existing distribution and key opinion leader network to educate Chinese clinicians on the proper use of the VELscope’s tissue fluorescence visualization technology during oral examinations. LED Dental continues to provide sales and training support, recently localizing all VELscope marketing materials and their Apple iPod imaging application into Mandarin.

“The healthcare market in China represents an exciting new opportunity for us to expand the adoption and reach of VELscope adjunctive screening technology,” stated Dr. David Gane, CEO of LED Medical Diagnostics. “Establishing and building partnerships in emerging markets is a key growth strategy for the VELscope business moving forward.”
