("Timestrip" or the "Company")
New distribution agreement
The Company is delighted to announce further progress with its commercialization
of TimestripIV, the innovative technology that enables clinicians and patients
to quickly assess how long a cannula has been in place and thus take appropriate
action in line with hospital infection control procedures.
The Company has appointed Vygon (UK) Limited as the Main Distributor for
TimestripIV products in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Vygon (UK) Ltd is a
leading supplier of single-use medical and surgical products, including
intravenous access devices, to the NHS. Vygon (UK) Ltd is part of The Vygon
Group of Companies which have supplied the healthcare profession for over 40
years.
TimestripIV will be available to hospitals through the NHS Supply Chain from the
end of July. Vygon also intends to include TimestripIV as a component in a new
cannulation pack that will be available in the coming months. In addition, Vygon
will act as the reseller of TimestripIV to other manufacturers of intravenous
access devices and cannulation packs, thereby ensuring the widest possible
availability for the product to the NHS and private hospital groups.
Paul Freedman, Joint CEO, Timestrip Plc: "We are delighted to be partnering with
such a dynamic and professional company as Vygon. They have a significant reach
into the NHS supply chain and have an outstanding approach to introducing new
products to the healthcare market. Their agreement to commit significant
resources to the launch of TimestripIV means that it will have the best possible
chance of success."
Les Davies, Managing Director, Vygon UK: "We have been very impressed by the
innovative nature of this product and the positive feedback it has received both
in pilot studies and also from a wider audience of stakeholders in the NHS.
TimestripIV is a natural fit with our extensive range of intravenous devices.
Current statistics reveal that in the UK alone there are over 40 million
venepuncture and cannulation procedures a year and we are confident that our
proven strength in this market will help the product to achieve its considerable
potential."
