KENT IMAGING X NEW HORIZON MEDICAL SOLUTIONS
We are teaming up with our US Distribution partner, New Horizon Medical Solutions, for some interactive and charitable booth events:
Snap - Share - Support: Strike a Pose for a Cause
We are teaming up with our USA distribution partner New Horizon Medical Solutions to ‘get social’! Stop by either the Kent Imaging or New Horizon booth and snap a selfie in our lifesize photo frame. Even better—if you share your selfie online with the hashtag #LiuMemorialAward, New Horizon will donate to the Dr. Paul Liu Memorial Award.
Turn your post into purpose: To learn more about Paul Liu MD’s contributions to wound care & to donate, click here.
Voices from the Frontline: Solving Together
Visit our US distribution partner, New Horizon Medical Solutions, at booth 703 and add your voice to our crowd-sourced insight wall.
We’re asking one simple question: What’s your biggest wound care challenge? Because real progress happens when we share honest experiences. Join the conversation and help shape better outcomes together!
CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF INNOVATION
This year, Kent Imaging marks 20 years of advancing tissue assessment through advanced medical imaging technologies. What began in 2006 as a research concept developed at the National Research Council of Canada has grown into a global leader in wound care imaging.
Stop by our booth at SAWC to celebrate with us, learn about the technology, and be part of the next chapter of innovation in tissue health!
