The new product, developed in collaboration with Q-Med AB, is a minimally invasive, injectable gel that can be administered relatively quickly in an outpatient setting without the need for anesthesia.

 

Oceana plans to focus marketing and medical educational of Solesta on colorectal surgeons, according to the release.
