Vitrolife: Swemed Sense™ approved for sales in Australia
STOCKHOLM, Sweden-(Business Wire)-September 28, 2009 - Regulatory News:
“Swemed Sense™, with its unique characteristics, is an important part of our existing product portfolio in Europe, and is now available even to our Australian customers, Says Vitrolife's Vice President of Marketing and Sales, Nils Sellbom. Vitrolife have identified Australia as one of the key markets in the world and we have a office located in Melbourne. Approximately 67 000 fertility treatment cycles are conducted in Australia and New Zealand each year”
The Swemed Sense™ oocyte aspiration needle is designed with a thinner front part and tip so as to minimize tissue damage, bleeding and pain. However, the rear part of the needle has a larger diameter. This makes the needle stable and therefore does not reduce the handling ability. Furthermore, the procedure is just as fast as when a thicker needle is used, which is not the case with uniformly thin needles. A patent application has been submitted for Swemed Sense™ in all major markets.
