Seattle, WA. - Today, Perimeter is pleased to announce the first two commercial placements of the Claire device – consisting of legacy replacements of Perimeter S-Series systems by two top-tier hospitals – marking a critical step as the Company works to establish its proprietary technology as a standard of care in breast-conserving surgery.
