Richland WA N, Oct. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vivos Inc. (OTCQB: RDGL), Vivos Inc. Certifies new clinic for IsoPet therapy.
NorthStar Vets - Veterinary Emergency & Trauma Specialty Center in Robbinsville, NJ. provides 24/7/365 emergency, trauma, and critical care and a suite of veterinary specialty services for small animals. They have been approved and licensed to offer IsoPet Precision Radionuclide Therapy as a cancer treatment for small animals.
Dr. Korenko stated “An important objective is to expand the number of clinics that are certified for IsoPet Therapy. Generally, different clinics specialize in small animal or equine therapy. Certification is much lower cost than other alternatives that require large capital investments. It requires veterinarians and oncologists that are enthusiastic about the effectiveness of IsoPet. Vivos assists them with obtaining or amending their radioactive material license and provides the certification training that includes our proprietary Injection Guidance Table. We now have several clinics in the pipeline.”

About Vivos Inc. (OTCQB: RDGL)
Vivos Inc. has developed an Yttrium-90-based injectable Precision Radionuclide Therapy? medical device to treat tumors in animals (IsoPet?) and humans (RadioGel?). Using the company's proprietary hydrogel technology, PRnT? uses highly localized radiation to destroy cancerous tumors by placing a radioactive isotope directly inside the treatment area. The injection delivers therapeutic radiation from within the tumor without the entrance skin dose and associated side effects of treatment that characterize external-beam radiation therapy. This feature allows the safe delivery of higher doses needed for treating non-resectable and radiation-resistant cancers.
RadioGel? is a hydrogel liquid containing tiny yttrium-90 phosphate microparticles that may be administered directly into a tumor. The hydrogel is a yttrium-90 carrier at room temperature that gels within the tumor interstitial spaces after injection to keep the radiation sources safely in place. The short-range beta radiation from yttrium-90 localizes the dose within the treatment area so that normal organs and tissues are not adversely affected.
RadioGel? also has a short half-life – delivering more than 90% of its therapeutic radiation within 10 days. This compares favorably to other available treatment options requiring up to six weeks or more to deliver a full course of radiation therapy. Therapy can be safely administered as an outpatient procedure, and the patient may return home without subsequent concern for radiation dose to family members.
