ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - Dec 8, 2015) - Medovex Corp. (
The units are being sold in conjunction with the hospital's purchase of new Hill-Rom® Progressa® beds and will be used in the Cardiovascular Critical Care Units as well as their Cardiovascular Operating Rooms. The purchase followed the hospital seeing the ISS demonstrated at the Hill-Rom Customer Experience Center where they identified it as their new solution to address intra-hospital transportation safety.
Patrick Kullmann, Medovex President and COO stated, "According to Critical Care Medicine, there are roughly 100,000 critical care beds in US hospitals. Streamline's ISS technology serves a growing need for safety and efficiency for both patients and caregivers in the hospital setting. The product provides caregivers with a more efficient means of handling the growing amount of patient equipment that remains with patients as they move about a hospital. Transport is even more of a burden in these larger facilities from a logistic and frequency standpoint."
Kullmann went on to say, "We are pleased to announce today's first multi-unit ISS sale to a major regional hospital in the large Northeastern corridor of the U.S. market. This account is a significant flagship medical center facility, recognized both regionally and nationally. We believe the Streamline ISS market opportunity is highly scalable where it has the potential of becoming a de facto standard in the hospital bed market. Together with Hill-Rom, we look forward to continuing to work in concert to provide other major hospitals with an efficient and cost effective intra-hospital transportation solution."
Jarrett S. Gorlin, Medovex CEO concluded, "Importantly for Medovex, this sale with more anticipated to follow, marks the Company's progression towards its goal of generating sustainable revenue and cash flows. We believe it represents a pivot point for the adoption of the Streamline IV Suspension System."
The ISS is a unique and effective solution available for managing cumbersome IV poles with mounted IV infusion pumps or other equipment at the bedside and during intra-hospital patient transports. The Streamline ISS provides an easy-to-use technology platform that mounts the ISS to beds or stretchers in the hospital or other care facility.
New efficiencies benefit patients by reducing the risk and associated costs of workplace injuries and the time for transporting patients and equipment. In seconds, the ISS can go from an infusion stand to a suspended, securely locked part of beds or stretchers.
