  • ELECTRO OPTICAL SCIENCES INC Profile

    Electro-Optical Sciences can detect whether that mole is a sign of a more serious medical condition -- melanoma. The company's lead product is a hand-held imaging device called MelaFind, which captures images of suspicious skin lesions, compares them to other malignant and benign lesions stored in a database, and provides information about whether they should be biopsied. MelaFind is in pivotal clinical trials for its ability to detect skin cancer at an early stage. Electro-Optical Sciences is seeking FDA approval, so that it can begin commercially marketing the point-of-care product to primary care physicians, dermatologists, and plastic surgeons in the US and through partnerships abroad.
