Twenty years ago Dr. Cucin set up Rocin Laboratories, Inc. as a Research and Development company to perfect biomedical dermatologicals and devices. That company now has an extensive international patent portfolio and it is from that portfolio that first Lipotome Sales, then the Surgeons Tools Division, and now the separate company BioSculpture Technology, Inc. was funded to concentrate on the further refinement, manufacture and worldwide distribution of the most advanced body contouring and tissue sculpting art of that portfolio.
