Austrian Medical Distributor Medikus Reports 10+ Sales for babyLance Heel Stick
Medikus, a Semi-Exclusive Distributor for babyLance in Austria, Has Partnered with MediPurpose Since December 2010
Vienna, Austria, August 19, 2011 --(PR.com)-- MediPurpose, a master distributor and manufacturer of medical products, today announced that medical product distributor Medikus has secured nearly a dozen sales in Austria for the babyLance infant heel incision device.
Medikus, a semi-exclusive distributor for babyLance in Austria, has partnered with MediPurpose since December 2010.
"We selected Medikus because they demonstrated an aggressive capability to promote this exciting new heel stick device in the Austrian medical product marketplace," said MediPurpose President and CEO Randy Prather. "Their success at more than 10 hospitals in nine months proves their capability."
Although a relatively small market, Austria has a high level of per-capita spending on medical devices. According to Espicom Business Intelligence, the Austrian market for medical equipment and supplies is valued at US $2.1 billion, equal to US $251 per capita, and is forecast to reach US $2.3 billion by 2015.
A complement to the company's vastly popular line of SurgiLance safety lancets, babyLance is a safe, easy and effective solution for newborn heel incisions.
babyLance is available to the Austrian healthcare market in two models:
• The babyLance Preemie (BLP), which delivers an incision depth of 0.85 mm.
• The babyLance Newborn (BLN), which delivers an incision depth of 1.00 mm.
First introduced to the North American medical product marketplace in 2010, babyLance continues a tradition of thoughtful medical device innovation at MediPurpose.
"As with our SurgiLance safety lancet, babyLance was designed with innovative features that provide safety, comfort and ease of use," said Prather.
In particular, the babyLance heel incision device features:
• Ease of activation: Reduces trigger activation force, thereby significantly reducing the risk of bruising.
• Unique positioning design: Facilitates a stable and accurate placement against the targeted section of the infant's heel while ensuring the procedure can be performed consistently and quickly.
• Compliance with regulatory and quality standards: Manufactured to the same regulatory and quality standards as the SurgiLance safety lancet, the babyLance cutting blade's swift pendulum action makes an incision that complies with the CLSI LA4-A5 established guidelines.
• Cost effectiveness: The babyLance heel incision device incorporates unique design characteristics that allow for the most cost-effective manufacturing process.
