The Tristel ULT foam for medical devices received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in June 2023 for use on endocavity ultrasound probes and skin surface transducers.

Tristel CEO Paul Swinney said: “When we received our FDA approval for Tristel ULT in June, we set out for our shareholders our commercial strategy for North America. This included the submission to the Canadian regulatory authority of Tristel ULT during the current financial year and its approval before the end of H1 FY2025.

“I am pleased to report that we have accelerated our plans and can look forward to a commercial launch into the Canadian ultrasound market during our second half.”

Parker Laboratories, Tristel’s North American business partner, will be responsible for manufacturing Tristel ULT.
