General information
- Short Summary
- An established UK manufacturer of smart clinical-grade digital medical devices and apps is seeking distributors for their devices, which attach to and utilise the power of mobile phones to view, capture and share health data. The device is a valuable tool for medics where patients cannot visit a surgery due to geographical distance from a specialist or, as currently, medical emergency. They are seeking experienced distributors of medical devices via commercial agreement.
- Full Description
-
Current otoscopes operate in a certain way which is insufficient and not ideal. The UK company's product offers a solution by doing something in a different way.
Rather than looking into patients' ears at very close distance using conventional otoscopes, health professionals use the company's otoscope to look inside patients' ears at a distance as he/she view ears through the phone screen while being away from the patient at “arms length”. Alternatively it can be used remotely if the patient or health worker uses the otoscope to capture images/ videos and share them via email with their GP or ear, nose and throat consultant.
This approach is particularly relevant from the recent health crisis where medical appointments with specialists were often via a screen to avoid possible infection spread.
The company, which was registered in 2011, is seeking experienced distributors of medical devices to promote, introduce and sell their otoscope to healthcare communities, via commercial agreement. - Advantages and Innovations
- The device is used to view and measure data from a patient, in this instance via examining patients' ears. The company's otoscope is ergonomically designed and incorporates high-grade glass optics, high resolution camera and illumination.
