Summary

Summary: 
A Swedish med-tech company has developed an innovative mobile X-ray unit, the smallest, lightest and most mobile unit on the market. Their revolutionary battery allows the X-ray unit to operate 24/7, whilst offering premium image quality – allowing for true x-ray mobility. They are now looking for distributors with connections to public or private hospitals or other caregivers in Germany.

Description

Description: 

This Swedish med-tech company creates innovative products that change the X-ray experience for hospitals, clinics and patients. Their innovative mobile X-ray units leverage in-house developed, cutting-edge battery technology, which allows the batteries to be fully charged up to eight times faster than competitors and ten minutes charging will give enough power to continue working without limitations up to one hour. The product is smaller, lighter and can easily be transported in a standard size van, like one used for motorized wheelchairs, which allows for hospital grade images outside of hospitals.

Their mobile X-ray units offer hospitals to improve the nursing experience and safety of the patient whilst allowing the staff to work faster, with more flexibility and at a lower cost.

The team behind the company has a long experience in medical technology and international experience with customers in 18 different countries around the world. They are now looking for Distribution Service Agreement with distributors in the med-tech sector or private hospitals in Germany.

Advantages & innovations

Cooperation plus value: 
The most important aspects to this product are its inventive design and outstanding battery performance, with the company's in-house developed battery. The battery charges very quickly and allows the X-ray unit to work more hours and spend less time charging. By reducing the weight by hundreds of kilos they have developed a light and portable X-ray unit that allows for maximum mobility without impairing its performance or function. Patented design allows a clear forward view and enables easy and safe transportation of the portable X-ray unit and makes it easy to maneuver in limited and crowded spaces. The unit can easily be transported in a standard size van, like one used for motorized wheelchairs They have incorporated the latest detector technology and imaging acquisition software, giving the mobile X-ray unit premium image quality. They use only high DQE Cesium Iodide (CsI) wireless detectors with state-of-the-art image processing. The battery technology that they have developed ensures shortest exposure time and thereby sharp images not only at full battery charge but also at low battery charge levels – unlike other competing portable X-ray units. This enables the improvement of clinical outcomes, shortened exam time which improves patient comfort and safety, as well as enhancing workflows and productivity, thereby reducing costs. The sleek design of the product makes the cleaning process simple with a minimum of sharp corners, hatches or lids – places where dirt and dust can accumulate. An easy cleaning process is paramount in the hospital environment, as this lowers the risk of spreading infections.
