Foster, 1983

This unpublished report was included with Removatron's 515(i) submission to FDA, and was dismissed as "only suggestive" of permanent hair removal.

Dr. Foster treated a black mouse with Removatron and then observed slides from five biopsies, one taken immediatley after, and then at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. Of 40 hairs, Foster concluded 12 showed histopathologic evidence of damage.

When time permits, I will scan this report and make it available online. Anyone wishing to receive a hard copy may contact me through my feedback page.
