LED Medical Announces US Distribution Agreement with Benco Dental
BURNABY, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec 10, 2013) - LED
Medical Diagnostics Inc. ("LED Medical" or the "Company")
(TSX-VENTURE:LMD)(OTCQX:LEDIF)(FRANKFURT:LME) is pleased to
announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, LED Dental Inc. ("LED
Dental"), has entered into a non-exclusive partnership with Benco
Dental ("Benco") for the distribution of the Company's VELscope® Vx
Enhanced Oral Assessment System and product line within the United
States market.
"We are pleased to partner with Benco for distribution in the
United States," stated Dr. David Gane, CEO for LED Medical. "Benco
currently serves more than 35,000 customers across the country and
maintains an excellent reputation in the dental industry. We are
excited about the opportunity to work together, maximizing the
significant sales potential for the VELscope® Vx product line
through its extensive network."
"We are pleased to now carry the VELscope® Vx product line for
our customers," states Chuck Cohen, Managing Director of Benco
Dental. "LED Dental has established itself as the market leader for
tissue fluorescence visualization in the dental industry and the
VELscope® Vx system has proven itself as the top adjunctive device
available for the early discovery of a wide range oral
abnormalities including oral cancer. It is a welcome addition to
the portfolio of outstanding equipment lines we carry at
Benco."
About the VELscope® Vx Enhanced Oral Assessment System
The distinctive blue-spectrum light of the VELscope® Vx
hand-held device causes the soft tissues of the mouth to naturally
fluoresce. Healthy tissues fluoresce in distinct patterns that are
visibly disrupted by trauma or disease, such as neoplastic lesions,
chemical irritation, side-effects from medication, thermal damage,
fungal, viral or bacterial infections. Use of the VELscope® Vx
allows a wide variety of oral abnormalities to be discovered, often
before they're visible to the unassisted eye. It is also the only
tissue fluorescence device with photo/video documentation
capabilities through the viewing mechanism, a key function for
referrals and patient records.
