Timestrip I.V. - First full adoption by NHS Trust 
Timestrip plc is delighted to announce that Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust 
will become the first NHS Trust to fully adopt Timestrip I.V. into its protocol 
for monitoring the dwell-time of Peripheral Intravenous Cannulae (PVC's). Vygon 
(UK) Ltd., the Main Distributor in the UK and Ireland for Timestrip I.V., has 
secured the contract to supply cannulation packs to Walton Centre NHS Foundation 
Trust.  The unique and patented TimestripIV product will be included as a 
standard component in every pack. 
Timestrip I.V. is an 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.  Up to 60% of cases 
of blood infections known as MRSA Bacteraemia are caused by PVC's and the cost 
of treating MRSA is estimated at GBP1 billion per annum, according to the 
National Audit Office.  Launched in July 2009, Timestrip I.V. is currently being 
used and trialled by more than 25 other NHS hospitals. 
Paul Freedman, Joint CEO, TimestripPlc:  "The first full conversion of a NHS 
Trust is a major milestone for the business and has been achieved by the team at 
Vygon (UK) Ltd. in a relatively short period of time.   Timestrip I.V. is now 
gaining excellent exposure within the NHS and we are optimistic that more Trust 
conversions are achievable in the future.  I am also very encouraged by the 
number of international enquiries for Timestrip I.V. that we have received in 
recent weeks, including several from North America.
