Cianna Medical, Powered by Merit Medical, Named A "Top 10 Oncology Solution Provider" by Healthcare Tech Outlook

SOUTH JORDAN, Utah, Aug. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Cianna Medical, powered by Merit Medical, has been named a "Top 10 Oncology Solution Provider" by Healthcare Tech Outlook, an innovation-focused healthcare publication for health system decision-makers.

The Top 10 Oncology Solution Providers 2019 is an annual listing of exceptional solution providers who offer innovative solutions that will help conduct cancer research, deliver cancer treatment, improve patient care and screen for cancer. The selection panel, which was comprised of senior oncology executives, including Healthcare Tech Outlook editorial board members, reviewed the top companies in the healthcare oncology space and shortlisted the ones that are at the forefront of tackling industry challenges.

The SCOUT® Radar Localization System and SAVI ®Brachytherapy were profiled in the Health Tech Outlook's special July issue dedicated to innovation in oncology.  The SCOUT system is an advanced wire-free localization system that was designed to address the challenges of wire localization for breast tumors.  SCOUT eliminates the need for wires using advanced radar technology to improve the precision and predictability of marking tumors, biopsy sites and lymph nodes prior to neoadjuvant therapy and surgery.

SAVI Brachytherapy is a safe, low-toxicity alternative to traditional whole breast radiation therapy. This strut-based, single entry approach to brachytherapy maximizes ease of use during placement while providing unparalleled radiation dose customization in as few as 2 days.

"We are glad to include Cianna Medical, powered by Merit Medical in our 2019 list of top oncology solution providers," said Alex D'Souza, Managing Editor of Healthcare Tech Outlook. "SCOUT helps radiologist and surgeons approach tumor localization accurately and with ease, directly improving  departmental workflow and benefiting patients, physicians and staff.  It is an innovative mindset, technical expertise, and demand-driven product that has earned Cianna this recognition."
