Tutera Medical® Now is a Viveve® Solutions Provider

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., September 20, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Tutera Medical offers bioidentical hormone replacement pellet therapy for both men and women. They are part of the SottoPelle network, founded by bioidentical hormone replacement pioneer Dr. Gino Tutera.  The distinguished medical practice of Tutera Medical is now also a proud provider of Viveve Solutions to its many patients. Viveve offers clinically proven, innovative, nonsurgical treatments to improve women’s intimate health. As a health and wellness medical practice, the inclusion of Viveve seemed like a perfect hit. Viveve recently announced its FDA Approval of IDE to Conduct VIVEVE II Clinical Study. This trial is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2018, with future results potentially supporting a marketing application for an expanded U.S. indication for the improvement of sexual function in women.

This trial received approval of its Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The approval allows the company to conduct the Viveve Treatment of the Vaginal Introitus to evaluate Safety and Efficacy (VIVEVE II) clinical trial to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Viveve® System for the improvement of sexual function in women following vaginal childbirth. Tutera Medical is confident of Viveve success and the potential benefits it offers to women.

Adding Viveve to our many therapeutic options is one that just makes sense for our patients.
