LOUDON, TN (PRWEB) July 20, 2005 -- MTRE Advanced Technologies (www.mtre.com), Hypothermia Therapy
and Temperature Management medical device provider, and Adroit Medical Systems
(www.adroitmedical.com), a premier manufacturer of patient
warming systems, today announced a partnership to offer non-invasive cooling
therapy medical system, to the US healthcare market. The partnership between
Adroit Medical Systems, and MTRE resulted in a successful contract award with
Premier Inc. (www.premierinc.com), one of the United States’ largest
purchasing organizations for hospitals and medical facilities.
Adroit
Medical and MTRE worked together to close the multi-million dollar deal for
external heating and cooling medical systems that regulate patient temperature
during surgery, and that can also be used to induce hypothermia in patients to
improve neurological recovery.
Neuro-protection by hypothermia has
taken a giant step into the future. Today, cooling therapy is used for various
applications following the process of ischemia. Clinical studies show that
cooling improves neurological outcome and reduce mortality.
MTRE has 17
clinical publications showing that its technology is one of most effective
thermal regulation systems available in the world today. Adroit Medical
pioneered patient heating/cooling systems in the US, and combined its market
experience and expertise with the advanced systems of MTRE to create one of the
most comprehensive product lines and information databases available.
“Truly a lot of blood, sweat, and tears has gone into the relationship
between our companies,” said Scott Gammons, Vice President, Adroit Medical
Systems. “The trust and cooperation we have developed over a three year period
is deep and secure. I know, without a doubt, that MTRE’s technology gave us the
leg up over our competition for this contract. It’s been a long time coming, but
a year from now, both Adroit and MTRE will be recognized as world leaders in
thermal regulation and body temperature therapy products. We views this contract
with Premier as just the first in a series of our major achievements to
come.”
“Adroit’s knowledge and experience in the U.S. medical device
market is opening doors for MTRE’s technology,” said Amir Shiner, MTRE CEO.
“Together, we are developing the next generation of devices to meet the
ever-increasing needs for product performance and patient safety. We are already
benefiting from the synergy between our two companies and look forward to a
prosperous future ahead.”
