MediPurpose® Gets Credit Line from Regions Bank

Sept. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- NORCROSS, Ga. – MediPurpose(r), a leading medical device manufacturer and master distributor, today announced that it recently closed a revolving line of credit with Regions Bank.

The line of credit expands the medical device company's financial capacity to continue to take advantage of new opportunities in medical device innovation--especially funding for new medical device inventors and innovators.

"We are profitable and don't need a loan for our existing medical device business," said founder and CEO Patrick Yi. "Instead, Regions Bank's evaluation of our company-and their decision to approve the line of credit-supports our reputation as a well-run small business with exciting plans for growth in the medical product industry."

In fact, the past 10 months have been exceedingly active for the thriving 10-year-old company. MediPurpose(r) last month expanded its medical product portfolio with its newly launched babyLance(tm) infant heel incision device, as well as announcing its new Wound Care Medical Product Distribution division.

In November 2009, MediPurpose unveiled new divisions for Medical Device Innovation and Medical Product Distribution.

"I feel that this new relationship indicates the high level of confidence that we have in MediPurpose and its ability to grow within the healthcare sector," said Regions Bank Assistant Vice President Greg Latora.

Yi added, "With the success of our SurgiLance(r) safety lancets and opportunities to leverage our marketing strengths and medical product distribution channels, we have always believed that the company would become more than just a lancet or safety products company.

"We want to use our experience to help other medical device innovators introduce new product innovations to the global healthcare market and other medical device companies to expand their market reach."
