“Roy’s expertise goes beyond his financial acumen,” said BJ Hardman, Chairman and CEO of Sanarus Technologies. “He’s a strategic thinker whose leadership and experience will help drive continued growth.”
Mr. Little began his career at Cigna Corporation in Philadelphia, a global health insurance service company.

“It’s an exciting time to join the Sanarus team,” said Mr. Little. “The cryoablation market is poised for continued momentum and I’m looking forward to maximizing the potential for growth. We’re on track to outpace the industry by continuing to develop innovative, minimally invasive treatment solutions that elevate the standard of care.”

Sanarus Technologies revolutionized the treatment of early stage breast disease and fibroadenomas with the development of the Visica 2™ Treatment System. The patented, FDA-cleared system uses extreme cold (cryo) to destroy tissue (ablation). The Visica 2 Treatment System kills the tumor by freezing it with liquid nitrogen and damaging the adjacent blood supply that fuels tumor growth.
Cryoablation offers benefits over surgery because the procedure is done under local anesthesia, no breast tissue is removed and the shape of the breast is maintained. Breast surgeons and interventional radiologists nationwide are using this advanced technology for the treatment of breast tumors as an alternative to surgical lumpectomy.
