Kent Imaging Joins Medline Industries as a “Platinum Partner”
Platinum Partnership agreement brings real-time decision-making through non-invasive oxygenation imaging to more wound care specialists.
Kent Imaging Inc., a leading innovator in oxygenation imaging, announced today that the company has signed a Platinum Partnership agreement with Medline Industries, Inc., a principal manufacturer, and distributor of products dedicated to wound care and limb preservation. The agreement with Medline Industries enables Kent Imaging to expand the reach of their flagship product, SnapshotNIR®, which utilizes near-infrared light to determine tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) in the microvascular network, a key indicator of tissue health. Through the technology, clinicians are better able to plan appropriate interventions, reduce complications and improve outcomes. The initiative, which will see SnapshotNIR added as a key solution within Medline’s client sales and services initiatives, will be initially launched in 10 selected US states.
“We are truly excited to collaborate with such a reputable and impactful organization as Medline Industries in this Platinum Partnership agreement,” says Will Siewert, Kent’s VP Sales (USA).
“The synergy delivered through this collaborative effort will support the accelerated adoption of the SnapshotNIR technology, helping clinical specialists in their efforts to reduce complications and improve outcomes.”
“This partnership helps Medline bring continued innovation and value to our customers, with both companies sharing a passion and vision for helping providers deliver better patient outcomes,” explains AJ Ford, Medline’s VP Sales for Skin Health and Corius.
“Our technologies are incredibly complementary. The SnapshotNIR device can visually demonstrate positive healing indicators around wound bed preparation and dermal reconstruction using our PluroGel® and Hyalomatrix® technologies, respectively. We very much look forward to introducing SnapshotNIR to leading-edge providers and programs.”
