“We are pleased that the FDA has approved the expansion of our consumable treatment tip manufacturing capabilities. In addition to significant reductions in tip manufacturing costs, the expansion strengthens our supply chain, reduces manufacturing risk, and positions us to support increases in treatment tip demand and utilization,” said Viveve’s CEO, Scott Durbin.
Viveve shares rose premarket and are currently trading 12.71% higher after the opening bell at $5.41. Wednesday’s closing price was $4.80.
