Polymedco CDP is pleased to announce a new agreement with MMS‐A Medical Supply Company for distribution of its manual fecal immunochemical test product. This agreement includes distribution of OC‐Light® manual FIT.
“We are excited about this new alliance with MMS. Their presence in the POL and small hospital markets will bring much exposure and offer many physicians access to our
product,” said Drew Cervasio, president of Polymedco.
OC‐Light®, the Polymedco manual fecal immunochemical test, require a single stool sample, have no dietary or medicinal restrictions, and have a completely closed sampling device, unlike Guaiac tests. With this methodology, patient compliance has
been shown to be as much as triple over prior testing methods.
Colorectal cancer is the third‐leading cause of cancer death in America, expecting to cause over 51,000 deaths during 2012 according to the American Cancer Society. Yet when detected early, colorectal cancer is highly treatable, and patients with precancerous polyps or early stage cancers often do not have to follow‐up with repeated surgeries and costly radiation and chemotherapy. Annual screening for colorectal cancer, which is facilitated by OC‐Light®, is helping to save lives and contain national healthcare costs.
Tony Gadzinski, VP of Marketing & Business Development for MMS, said “We are very pleased to add the OC‐Light product to our portfolio of lab based products and are looking forward to working with Polymedco to bring this product to our mutual customers”.
