HAYWARD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pulse Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLSE), a novel medical therapy company bringing to market its proprietary CellFX™ System, today announced that key findings from its clinical programs using Nano-Pulse Stimulation™ (NPS™) technology will be presented at the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery’s (ASLMS) Annual Conference being held March 27-31, 2019, in Denver, CO. The ASLMS Annual Conference is the premier international scientific meeting in the field of medical lasers and energy-based technologies featuring the latest information on biomedical research and applications presented by world-renowned experts in dermatology, plastic surgery and gynecology, among other disciplines.
“The prestigious ASLMS Annual Conference represents an important forum for gathering top clinicians from around the world who have pioneered the development, study and use of energy-based technologies in medicine,” said Darrin Uecker, President and CEO. “The NPS clinical study data accepted for presentations by Dr. Kilmer and Dr. Ross represents the growing peer recognition of the clinical value of NPS as a unique non-thermal modality for addressing common skin problems that are difficult to treat with traditional therapies.”
Suzanne Kilmer, MD, Clinical Professor at the University of California, Davis and the Director of the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Northern California in Sacramento, Calif., will present study data on 18 patients with Sebaceous Hyperplasia lesions on the face who received treatment using Nano-Pulse Stimulation technology. In Dr. Kilmer’s single-center subset, 100% of the SH lesions (71 treated lesions) were rated clear (89%) or mostly clear (11%) at 60-days post-treatment.

About Nano-Pulse Stimulation
Pulse Biosciences’ patented Nano-Pulse Stimulation™ technology (NPS™), delivered by its proprietary, tunable CellFX System, is characterized by the delivery of a series of nanosecond duration electrical energy pulses, with pulse durations from billionths up to a millionth of a second. This unique non-thermal technology targets cellular structures while sparing non-cellular structures, making it uniquely well suited for cellular targets in the dermis, such as sebaceous glands and other adnexal structures.
About Pulse Biosciences
Pulse Biosciences is a novel medical therapy company bringing to market its proprietary CellFX™ System. The Company’s novel CellFX System provides a precise, non-thermal delivery of nanosecond duration energy pulses that impact cells in treated tissue while sparing non-cellular tissue. This unique mechanism of action disrupts the functions of internal cell structures while maintaining the outer cell membrane, initiating a cascade of events within the cell that results in regulated cell death. The novel characteristics of the Company’s CellFX System has the potential to significantly benefit patients across multiple medical applications, including dermatology, the Company’s first planned commercial application. In pre-clinical studies, Nano-Pulse Stimulation™ (NPS™) technology platform has demonstrated an ability to induce immunogenic cell death in several cancer cell lines. The Company believes its NPS technology platform may play a role in immuno-oncology as a focal tumor treatment that can initiate an adaptive immune response.
