Further, throughout this year we have continued to successfully drive Viveve® System adoption and utilization through core medical specialists in U.S. and Asia Pacific markets.”

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2021 were $5.6 million, compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2020. The increase is mainly a result of the Company’s efforts to conduct and advance enrollment in our pivotal U.S. PURSUIT clinical trial.
