About

SamanTree Medical SA is a Swiss medtech company based in Lausanne, founded in December 2014 as a spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL). The company specializes in digital microscopy scanners designed for real-time imaging of fresh tissue, aiming to enhance cancer surgery and minimize re-operations. SamanTree Medical focuses on intra-operative pathology to improve surgical accuracy and workflow, particularly in surgeries for breast, prostate, lung, and brain cancers. The company's primary product is the Histolog® Scanner, which utilizes patented massively parallel confocal microscopy technology for high-resolution imaging of tissue surfaces. This system allows for rapid specimen preparation and scanning, providing real-time tumor margin assessment during surgery. The Histolog® Scanner is designed to maintain specimen integrity while offering additional microstructural information to support clinical decisions. SamanTree Medical has achieved significant milestones, including FDA clearance and CE marking for its products, and continues to advance its technology to improve cancer treatment outcomes.
