NanoVibronix Signs Major Distributor in India for UroShield®
December 20 2018 - 8:00AM
NanoVibronix, Inc, (NASDAQ: NAOV), a medical
device company utilizing the Company's proprietary and patented low
intensity surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology, today announced,
in partnership with Morulaa HealthTech, NanoVibronix’s marketing
partner in India, that they signed a new distribution agreement for
UroShield® with Cnergy Group of Companies. Cnergy is one of
the leading medical device distributors in India, headquartered in
Chennai, Tamilnadu, with over 100 employees.
UroShield™ is an ultrasound-based product that is designed to
prevent bacterial colonization and biofilm on indwelling urinary
catheters and increase antibiotic efficacy, ultimately reducing the
incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI).
UroShield is also intended to decrease pain and discomfort
associated with urinary catheter use.
Within India, hospital acquired infections (HAIs) are a leading
cause of morbidity, and over 40% of all HAIs are believed to be
CAUTI related. These infections generally result in increased use
of antibiotics, longer stays in hospitals and an overall increase
in healthcare costs.
Brian Murphy, CEO of NanoVibronix, commented, “India represents
an attractive market for UroShield® as there is a significant,
unmet need for a noninvasive solution for the prevention of urinary
tract infections. Currently, antibiotics are the only
available treatment option. Both NanoVibronix and Morulaa are
excited to have Cnergy as a channel partner. Cnergy has strong
relationships with many of the top key opinion leaders and medical
institutions across India.”
