Body = LOUDON, TN, USA, July 20, 2005 -- MTRE Advanced Technologies
(www.mtre.com), hypothermia therapy and temperature management medical
device
provider, and Adroit Medical Systems www.adroitmedical.com), a premier
manufacturer
of patient warming systems, today announced a partnership to offer
non-invasive cooling therapy medical system, to the US healthcare
market. The partnership between Adroit Medical Systems, and MTRE
resulted in a successful contract award with
Premier Inc. (www.premierinc.com), one of the United States’

Adroit Medical
and MTRE worked together to close the multi-million dollar deal
for external heating and cooling medical systems that regulate patient
temperature during surgery, and that can also be used to induce
hypothermia in patients to improve neurological recovery.
Neuro-protection by hypothermia has taken a giant step into the
future. Today, cooling therapy is used for various applications
following the process of ischemia. Clinical studies show that cooling
improves neurological outcome and reduce mortality.
MTRE has 17
clinical publications showing that its technology is one of most
effective thermal regulation systems available in the world today.
Adroit Medical
pioneered patient heating/cooling systems in the US, and combined
its market experience and expertise with the advanced systems of
MTRE to create one of the most comprehensive product lines and information
databases available.
“Truly
a lot of blood, sweat, and tears has gone into the relationship
between our companies,” said Scott Gammons, Vice President,
Adroit Medical Systems. “The trust and cooperation we have
developed over a three year period is deep and secure. I know, without
a doubt, that MTRE’s technology gave us the leg up over our
competition for this contract. It’s been a long time coming,
but a year from now, both Adroit and MTRE will be recognized as
world leaders in thermal regulation and body temperature therapy
products. We views this contract with Premier as just the
first in a series of our major achievements to come.”
“Adroit’s
knowledge and experience in the U.S. medical device market is opening
doors for MTRE’s technology,” said Amir Shiner, MTRE
CEO. “Together, we are developing the next generation of devices
to meet the ever-increasing needs for product performance and patient
safety. We are already benefiting from the synergy between our two
companies and look forward to a prosperous future ahead.”
