IRRAS AB publishes Interim Report for the period January to September 2020

IRRAS’ progress continues and sales increase

“During the third quarter IRRAS made decisive progress in a number of areas. Sales growth was seen again as commercial activity resumed after being impacted by COVID-19 restrictions, and a clinical study data was presented that demonstrated that IRRAflow shortens the length of hospital stays for patients with chronic subdural hematoma (cSH). In both Europe and the US, patient treatments started in new hospitals as a number of new clinical evaluations have begun. We see a clear increased demand for IRRAflow in both Europe and the US and remain confident that we can capture a share of the SEK 15.5 billion market over the next few years.”

Kleanthis G. Xanthopoulos, Ph.D., CEO of IRRAS
