MedaPhor and Inventive Medical announce sales and marketing collaboration
MedaPhor Group Plc (AIM: MED) ('MedaPhor') and Inventive Medical Ltd, today announces a sales and marketing collaboration to extend across their respective direct sales regions, which include the UK, Europe and North America. The collaboration will focus on lead generation and joint marketing opportunities. It will also enable both companies to tender jointly for medical simulation installations that require full torso scanning solutions involving the teaching of transvaginal, transabdominal, transthoracic (TTE) and transoesophageal (TOE) echocardiography and lung ultrasound.
The ScanTrainer and HeartWorks ultrasound simulators were both developed by leading clinicians in their respective specialist fields to bridge the evident gap in patient safe training between the textbook and the bedside.
"We are delighted to be working alongside Medaphor, who share our values in delivering state-of-the-art educational experiences for clinicians to acquire high levels of competence in ultrasound practice,' said Ian Whittaker, CEO of Inventive Medical. 'As a leading provider of ultrasound training systems, our mission will be enhanced by this collaboration as both our companies seek to support clinicians to deliver quality care for their patients.'
MedaPhor's CEO, Stuart Gall said, "We're passionate about the future of ultrasound and are committed to providing gold standard ultrasound training simulators for the obstetrics and gynaecology, emergency medicine and general medical markets. This collaboration will enable both companies to extend their marketing reach in Europe and the US and importantly, offer a joint solution for the growing number of medical simulation centres that are requesting full torso ultrasound training through simulation. We are looking forward to working with Inventive Medical."
