Created in March 2024 on the basis of a patented technology resulting from 5 years of academic research, AstraNICE meets the needs of patients and surgeons for safer surgery using a fluorescence imaging modality. Thanks to its multidisciplinary team and complementary expertise (surgery, chemistry, management, etc.), AstraNICE is able to offer surgical equipment manufacturers a unique fluorescent coating - versatile and easy to apply - that can add innovative functionality to their products, enabling them to participate in the growing trend towards Fluorescence Image Guided Surgery (FIGS).  Several types of partnership are already under discussion with major players in the sector, with a view to bringing the first finished instruments coated with the fluorescent polymer to market quickly.
