Leverkusen, Germany, October 09, 2017 – Biofrontera AG (ISIN: DE0006046113), the specialist for the treatment of sun-induced skin cancer, today announced that the Company’s combination of the topical prescription drug Ameluz® and the medical device BF-RhodoLED® for the photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatment of skin cancer precursors has been listed on the U.S. Veterans Affairs Federal Supply Schedule (VA FSS).
With over $10 billion in sales, the VA FSS Service supports the healthcare requirements of the VA and other federal government agencies by providing Federal customers with access to over 1 million state-of-the-art commercial products and services. The listing, which went into effect on October 2, will include the combination treatment on the FSS catalogue and make it available for purchase by Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense facilities.
“We are pleased that the VA FSS has begun to list Ameluz® and our combination BF-RhodoLED® lamp as a treatment option for skin cancer precursors. This listing represents another significant milestone for our company in the U.S. market,” said Prof. Dr. Hermann Lübbert, CEO of Biofrontera. “The VA FSS expands our opportunity to reach new patients and demonstrates the demand for efficacious treatment.
