We are honored and delighted to expand our SAB with the appointment of Professor Thierry de Baere, who took part in our first clinical study in which 21 patients were successfully treated in France,” declares Bertin Nahum, CEO, and co-founder of Quantum Surgical. “We will continue to benefit from precious advice provided by these internationally renowned physicians to develop clinical adoption in the European and American markets.
