Sensus Healthcare Launches SRT-100 in China for Keloid Prevention and Treatment at Major Dermatology Conference, Extends Distribution Agreement with Chindex Medical

BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov. 1, 2017Sensus Healthcare, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRTS), a medical device company specializing in the non-invasive treatment of non-melanoma skin cancers and keloids with superficial radiation therapy (SRT), announces it has launched the SRT-100™ in China for the treatment and prevention of keloids with Chindex Medical Limited. Sensus also announces the extension of its exclusive distribution agreement with Chindex Medical, a joint venture between Fosun Pharma and Chindex International, Inc., through 2020.

SRT-100 launch activities were organized by Chindex Medical in conjunction with the International Congress of Dermatologic & Aesthetic Surgery International League (DASIL) in Shanghai October 24 – 28, followed by additional launch activities in Beijing.

“Chindex Medical organized powerful events to broaden awareness of the SRT-100 and keloid treatment in China, and we are delighted to extend our distribution and marketing agreement for the next three years,” said Joe Sardano, chief executive officer of Sensus Healthcare. “We were gratified by the reception we received at DASIL, where Chindex Medical hosted well-attended presentations featuring U.S. and internationally renowned dermatologists such as Dr. Mark Nestor, Dr. David Goldberg and Dr. Michael Gold. In Beijing, Chindex Medical organized a special showing of the SRT-100 to approximately 100 key opinion leaders in China. Based on the reception and interest shown at these events, and because Asians have among the highest incidence of post-surgical keloid scar formation, we are optimistic about the future of the SRT-100 with Chindex Medical.”

As previously announced, in July 2017 the SRT-100 received clearance from the China Food and Drug Administration for the treatment and prevention of keloids. Chindex Medical is focused on preventing and treating keloids associated with Cesarean sections and Sensus has developed a special applicator for use with the SRT-100 for this indication. The SRT-100 previously received clearance in China for the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer indication, and has been marketed by Chindex Medical for that indication since 2015.

About Keloids

Keloids are benign fibrous tissue formed at the site of a scar or injury to the skin. Although keloids have been known to form in all races, they are seen most frequently among those of African, Latin and Asian descent. Surgery and other treatment methods may reduce the size of the keloid, but with a reoccurrence rate of 90%, the current treatment methods are not a permanent solution. Sensus Healthcare’s SRT device is a safe alternative in treating existing keloid conditions and is proven to be most effective for reducing the recurrence of keloids when combined with excision surgery.
