Several additional NHS hospitals and German hospitals are also expected to offer Oraya Therapy by the end of 2014.

Designed as a one-time, non-invasive treatment for wet AMD, Oraya Therapy has the potential to maintain or improve vision while reducing the required number of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections into the eye.

"The adoption of Oraya Therapy at these five sites in the first half of 2014 represents a significant advance for Oraya, and we anticipate the second half of the year will meet or exceed this level of growth."

Oraya Therapeutics president and CEO Jim Taylor said: "The adoption of Oraya Therapy at these five sites in the first half of 2014 represents a significant advance for Oraya, and we anticipate the second half of the year will meet or exceed this level of growth.

"Importantly, these highly respected and centrally located treatment centres offer patients, their families and their physicians a valuable and much-needed option for treating wet AMD."

Oraya Therapy was first introduced in 2013 at VistaKlinik, located at Basel in Switzerland.

Oraya Therapy uses a low-voltage X-ray source with advanced robotics, a laser-guided positioning system, and a patented methodology for eye stabilisation and tracking.

The procedure takes about 20 minutes and requires no post-treatment recovery period before resuming normal activity.
