Verathon Medical reaches 25 Years of service
In April 2009 Verathon Medical will celebrate its Silver Anniversary of 25 years in operation. This milestone has been reached with successful world-wide sales of famous generic products - BladderScan® and GlideScope®. Gerald McMorrow the Founder of the company talks about the changes the company has experienced on the Home Page.
GlideScope sales growth in UK continues.
Sales of GlideScope video-laryngoscopy within the UK continue to grow in 2009 at a rate that has exceeded the initial company expectations. Many UK Hospitals now use the devices for normal intubations rather than just for the difficult airway and 2 of these hospitals - Chelsea & Westminster, London and Royal Hallamshire , Sheffield - have given interviews for the website explaining their uses. These videos can be viewed from the GlideScope tab on the Home page.
Verathon UK refurbishes its UK offices and increases service support capability
As the Verathon business expands in the UK it has become necessary to completely refurbish its offices in Aston Sandford and to build a modern Customer Support/Service centre and customer demonstration facility. The work was started in January 2009 by Tapper Interiors from Banbury and has now extended support capability by 20% over the previous available space. This refurbishment allows the company to offer a complete service capability for its BladderScan® and GlideScope®.
“Working in partnership with a professional Interior company like Tapper has enabled us to increase our space and provide facilities that will enable our UK customers to visit with us and see their products being supported. We have also employed additional technical support staff to increase our UK commitment and provide high quality products supported by highly qualified people”
– Paul Knee - Managing Director Verathon Medical®.
The new BladderScan® BVI9400 proves a “Business Case” success for UK Trusts.
When a company introduces a new product onto a market it does so with a fair degree of Fear and trepidation, such was the case when Verathon Medical® launched its new scanner in 2008 known as the BVI9400. This new scanner was also entering the same market as a world-famous bladder scanner that had received total market acceptance as the “gold-standard” so it was competing with a product from the same family!!
The BVI 9400 has proved itself by elevating the standards of speed and accuracy required in today’s environment (product specifications available in BladderScan tab from Home Page) and has already established itself as another market-leading addition to the BladderScan® range.
One explanation of this continued growth is the financial business cases that have been created in support of all the scanners. The evidence-based cost savings that Trusts can make by the use of the BladderScan® devices are attractive and in the present economic climate are an aspect that grabs the total attention of clinicians and business partners alike.
