Hemedex, Inc. Joins Attainia: Healthcare Capital Equipment Planning

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - June 15, 2015 - PRLog -- Hemedex, Inc., the leader in quantitative monitoring of blood flow in soft tissue, is pleased to announce its recent partnership with Attainia, the industry leader in healthcare equipment planning solutions. Hemedex’s products are now listed in Attainia’s extensive database, and have been incorporated into Attainia’s templates, which aid in the outfitting of ICUs, ORs, trauma centers, and neurosurgery departments.

“Hospitals face an overwhelming amount of pressure to equip new departments with the best technology to manage their patient population,” states Dr. Fred Bowman, CEO & President of Hemedex, Inc. “Attainia provides a means of closing the gap between suppliers and providers and assists in educating providers on the products available on the market today.”

Hemedex, Inc. manufactures The Bowman Perfusion Monitor® (BPM). The BPM is the only bedside monitor that continuously quantifies tissue blood flow (perfusion) in real-time, in absolute physiological units of ml/100g-min. In neurological applications, monitoring cerebral blood flow (CBF) alerts clinicians to the onset of swelling-induced ischemia and vasospasm. In combination with mean arterial pressure, CBF monitoring enables real-time detection of loss of cerebral autoregulation. Managing adequate CBF levels is key to reducing injuries secondary to initial trauma, and the BPM provides this critical information continuously, enabling clinicians to intervene when necessary and to evaluate the effectiveness of administered therapy in real-time. The Bowman Perfusion Monitoring System consists of the BPM, the QFlow 500™ Perfusion Probe, and Umbilical Cord.

Also included on Attainia’s product database is Hemedex’s line of cranial bolts which secure one or more intracranial probes in place. The recently released quad lumen bolt is designed to universally secure each of the intracranial sensors commonly used in the growing application of Multimodal Monitoring in neurocritical care permitting the co-localization of all the monitored physiology through one burr hole.
