UltraGreen.ai ready to recalibrate US medical dye strategy

The company’s response will hinge on its rivals’ pricing, distribution, and customer offer. 

UltraGreen.ai is prepared to adjust its commercial strategy as new competitors enter the US indocyanine green (ICG) market, with its response to depend on rivals’ pricing, distribution approach, and customer proposition.

ICG is a fluorescent medical dye used in diagnostic imaging and surgical procedures to help visualise blood flow and tissue. 

CEO Ravinder Sajwan said in a filing that the company would determine its response once the commercial plans of new entrants become clearer.

“We believe it would be premature to speculate on their potential market impact or the specific actions UltraGreen may take in response,” he added.

The comments come as recent US regulatory approvals secured by new entrants have raised concerns among shareholders.

However, Sajwan noted that US Food and Drug Administration approval does not necessarily indicate a commercial launch, customer adoption, or market penetration.

“UltraGreen may be a relatively young public company, but we have been operating in the fluorescence-guided surgery for more than a decade,” he said.

Separately, the company is expanding beyond ICG through PerfusionWorks, which adds quantification and data capabilities to its fluorescence-guided surgery platform.

PerfusionWorks has completed its European Medical Device Regulation conformity assessment and is awaiting formal CE certification. 

UltraGreen plans to pursue US FDA clearance for the platform after receiving the European certification.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
