MediPurpose Expands U.S. Medical Product Sales Force

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec. 19, 2011 - MediPurpose(r), a master distributor and manufacturer of medical products, today announced the expansion of its U.S. independent sales network for its new MediPlus(tm) Advanced Wound Care product line.

MediPurpose recently signed contracts with independent medical product representatives in Florida and in other portions of the Southeastern United States. Over the next few months, MediPurpose intends to expand the network nationwide, and is currently engaged in discussions with representatives in new territories, said MediPurpose President and CSO Randy Prather.

"Structured to complement MediPurpose's existing internal sales staff, the utilization of independent sales professionals has not only historically proven to be a key factor in the successful growth of MediPurpose's medical product distribution channels, but has also been elemental in maintaining long-term customer relationships," said Prather.

"During our first five years of operation, the effective use of an independent sales force was an essential strategy for helping position the SurgiLance(r) safety lancet as one of the best-selling fingerstick devices on the market," added Prather. "As a result of more than a decade of success, we are poised to leverage that experience to augment distribution channels for MediPlus."

Available for distribution since October, MediPlus' growing reputation as a competitively-priced and high-quality wound care product line has not only generated considerable interest from customers, but also from independent sales representatives that are keen to add MediPlus to their product portfolios.
The MediPlus advanced wound care product line currently features:

Foams
MediPlus Foam
MediPlus Comfort Foam
MediPlus HC Foam
MediPlus Super Foam

Hydrocolloids
MediPlus HC (Standard and Extra-Thin)
MediPlus HC Comfort

Hydrogels
MediPlus Barrier Gel

Thin Films

Additionally, MediPurpose received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance for its silver foam wound dressings earlier this year, which are expected to be available for evaluation in coming weeks.
