Still River Systems Inc. change its name to Mevion Medical Systems Inc. ahead of its push to get its proton therapy device, the Mevion S250, to market.
The Littleton, Mass.-based firm’s move marks its shift from a research & development company to a commercial manufacturer, according to a press release.
Proton therapy delivers therapeutic doses of radiation to tumors. Because the systems are so large and expensive it’s not widely available, a situation Mevion aims to change.
