“We are quite pleased with our quarterly results, which nearly surpassed total sales of the last fiscal year,” said Gordon Willox, Founder & President of ASTI. “Last year we spent most of our time educating doctors on how to operate our lasers and held multiple training sessions across the USA. Now that our technology has been successfully tested by numerous well-regarded surgeons and institutions, we are focused on ramping upthe sales and are already securing new sales distribution agreements.
