About Viveve

Viveve Medical, Inc. is a medical technology company focused on women’s intimate health. Viveve is committed to advancing new solutions to improve women’s overall well-being and quality of life. The internationally patented Viveve® System incorporates cryogen-cooled monopolar radiofrequency (CMRF) technology to uniformly deliver volumetric heating while gently cooling surface tissue to generate neocollagenesis in a single in-office session.

Internationally, regulatory approvals and clearances have been received for vaginal laxity and/or improvement in sexual function indications in over 50 countries.

Completion of full 250 subject enrollment was announced in early March 2019. If successful, VIVEVE II results could be used to support Viveve’s efforts to obtain a marketing application for a new U.S. commercial indication.
