NeoTract Designates Dr. Keith Xavier as UroLift® Center of Excellence


News Image

“This designation recognizes Dr. Keith Xavier as a UroLift Center of Excellence for his commitment to providing safe and effective treatment to patients with BPH,” said Dave Amerson

NeoTract, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX) focused on addressing unmet needs in the field of urology, today announced that Keith Xavier, M.D., Urology Partners of North Texas in Arlington, TX, has been designated as a UroLift® Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. Xavier has achieved a high level of training and experience with the UroLift® System and demonstrated a commitment to exemplary care for men suffering from symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate.

Recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines, the FDA-cleared Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH. The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue.

The UroLift Center of Excellence program is designed to highlight urologists who are committed to educating their patients on BPH and the UroLift System as a treatment option and consistently seek to deliver excellent patient outcomes and experiences.

“This designation recognizes Dr. Keith Xavier as a UroLift Center of Excellence for his commitment to providing safe and effective treatment to patients with BPH,” said Dave Amerson, president of the Teleflex Interventional Urology business unit. “We are pleased to see the continued acceptance of the UroLift System as a standard of care treatment that may allow men to discontinue the use of BPH medications and improve their quality of life.”

Over 40 million men in the United States are affected by BPH, a condition that occurs when the prostate gland that surrounds the male urethra becomes enlarged with advancing age and begins to obstruct the urinary system. Symptoms of BPH often include interrupted sleep and urinary problems and can cause loss of productivity, depression and decreased quality of life.

Medication is often the first-line therapy for enlarged prostate, but relief can be inadequate and temporary. Side effects of medication treatment can include sexual dysfunction, dizziness and headaches, prompting many patients to quit using the drugs. For these patients, the classic alternative is surgery that cuts, heats or removes prostate tissue to open the blocked urethra. While current surgical options can be very effective in relieving symptoms, they can also leave patients with permanent side effects such as urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and retrograde ejaculation.

About the UroLift® System

The FDA-cleared UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a minimally invasive transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue. Clinical data from a pivotal 206-patient randomized controlled study showed that patients with enlarged prostate receiving UroLift implants reported rapid and durable symptomatic and urinary flow rate improvement without compromising sexual function*1,2. Patients also experienced a significant improvement in quality of life. Over 100,000 men have been treated with the UroLift System in the U.S. Most common adverse events reported include hematuria, dysuria, micturition urgency, pelvic pain, and urge incontinence. Most symptoms were mild to moderate in severity and resolved within two to four weeks after the procedure. The Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines. The UroLift System is available in the U.S., Europe, Australia, Canada, Mexico and South Korea. Learn more at http://www.UroLift.com.

Knipper’s New ‘Samplicity’ Platform Redefines Sample Management Market


Named for its simple approach to sample management, Samplicity is an exclusive suite of technology, services, and support, and is the only completely self-contained, sample management platform available.

Samplicity’s fully integrated platform brings to the market a rapid deployment model, coupled with flexible configuration technology to address virtually every sampling need. Agile and modular, its scalable components are well-suited for the small to mid-size company, up to and including large enterprise organizations. Knipper has utilized its deep knowledge of the market in developing this revolutionary approach to sample management. Coupled with Knipper’s one point-of-contact approach, clients enjoy an efficient, scalable, and cost-effective solution to meet all their sampling needs. Hailed as the only end-to-end sample management provider in the market, this new integrated technology is the next milestone in a long history of innovation in the samples market. “The platform brings forth a new single source of practitioner information regardless of marketing channel. In addition, this level of seamless integration avoids traditional pitfalls of contradicting data from multiple sources, conflicting business rules, mismanaged allocations, and the need for multiple suppliers,” states Knipper’s Senior Vice President of Commercial Development and Integration, Eric Johnson.

“Samplicity is sampling, simplified and without compromise,” states Knipper CEO Michael Laferrera. “Thanks to the efforts of an unsurpassed team of in-house professionals, we’ve developed a total support and service solution to surpass the current and future needs of clients, practitioners, and patients.”

Supported by a full complement of fulfillment, distribution, and logistics capabilities, Samplicity’s core service areas include:

  • An E-sampling portal for practitioners to request product samples, patient support materials, and product literature that can be deployed as a single or multitenant platform.
  • An intuitive business rule-based sales representative portal for the ordering of samples and product literature.
  • A built-in rock-solid sample, accountability module for ensuring compliance with PDMA guidelines.
  • A robust business rule and order processing engine that guarantees timely, accurate and compliant distribution.
  • Integration with Knipper’s Contact Center, which performs practitioner and sales rep outreach.
  • A dynamic enterprise reporting suite providing access to all sample related data in an easy-to-use interface.
  • An integrated patient portal through which consumers can order OTC medications direct from the manufacturer.

The platform helps clients achieve goals more economically and with fewer resources. Sales personnel can spend their time selling rather than managing their sample orders, or the sample requests of their customers. Marketing directors’ benefit from Samplicity’s intuitive dashboard to expand sample programs effectively and cost efficiently. Finally, emerging companies can take advantage of Samplicity’s multiple functions to avoid managing multiple suppliers and subsequently reduce costs.

Anticipation for Samplicity is due in part to Knipper’s stellar reputation, which spans more than three decades. More than 100 well-known life science organizations rely on Knipper’s programs and services. As a responsive and trusted resource, Knipper frequently supports the entire product lifecycle from     pre-launch consultation to end of patent. This long-term success is attributed to the experienced Knipper team, who approaches every project with a “one contact, one team, one resource” client-centric perspective.

“The singular focus and ultimate goal of Samplicity is to enable organizations to place the most advanced pharmaceutical products in the hands of patients who benefit from them the most. This supports our corporate vision of creating the shortest path between patient and therapy,” notes Laferrera.

Sinopsys Announces Issuance of European Patent Covering its Novel Stent for the Delivery of Dexamethasone and other Therapeutics to Key Sinus Anatomy


Sinopsys Surgical logo

The issuance of this patent recognizes the novelty of the underlying technology and complements the first-generation patent filings for Sinopsys, making it a key component of our intellectual property portfolio

Sinopsys Surgical, Inc. (Sinopsys), a medical technology company focused on treatment of sinusitis and related conditions announced that the European Patent Office has granted EP Patent No. 2624876 covering Sinopsys’ implantable stent for the delivery of therapeutic agents including pharmaceuticals and saline. Previously-issued members of this patent family include US patents 9,022,967 and 9,308,358.

The Company previously received 510K clearance by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for use of the stent in the treatment of Epiphora (blocked tear ducts) and an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) for the delivery of saline to the ethmoid sinuses via the stent in treatment of Chronic Sinusitis (CRS). With the stent now CE marked for the short or long-term treatment of CRS with saline, Sinopsys is planning its European product launch in H1 2021.

Sinopsys has a global patent estate covering its stent design, the implant procedure, and the use as a delivery device to the ethmoid sinus which studies have shown is a common source of infection for patients suffering from CRS.

“The issuance of this patent recognizes the novelty of the underlying technology and complements the first-generation patent filings for Sinopsys, making it a key component of our intellectual property portfolio” said Richard Babb, CEO of Sinopsys. “Our approach overcomes the challenges of accessing the ethmoid sinus through a ‘bottom up’ approach which often requires invasive, irreversible sinus surgery that, in some patients, is ineffective.”

Mr. Babb continued: “Sinopsys’ stent can be used for short or long-term treatment and easily removed by a medical professional when treatment is completed. Through clinical studies, our goal is to further expand the use of this innovative platform for other indications that may benefit from targeted saline and therapeutic delivery to the sinus anatomy.”

About Sinopsys Surgical, Inc.

Sinopsys’ stent is a sterile, single-use, long-term, surgically placed medical device composed of medical grade polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), commonly known as silicone. The reversible, implant procedure takes under one hour without general anesthesia. The stent is designed to access the ethmoid sinus for the delivery of saline, for which it is currently approved in Europe, and for delivery of pharmaceutical therapeutics, for which additional clinical studies must be conducted. Additional information about the company can be found at http://www.sinopsyssurgical.com.

Forward-Looking Statements

To the extent any statements made in this release contain information that is not historical, these statements are essentially forward-looking and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the difficulty of predicting FDA (or other regulatory body) approvals, acceptance and demand for new products, the impact of competitive products and pricing, new product development and launch, reliance on key strategic alliances, availability of raw materials, the regulatory environment, and other risks the Company may identify in the future.

Darena Solutions today announced that BlueButtonPRO™, the company’s comprehensive patient engagement platform, has officially become the nation’s FIRST ever solution to be certified by the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for meeting interoperability and patient access provisions of the 21st Century Cures Act.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced two final rules, one by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the other by the ONC, implementing parts of the 21st Century Cures Act. These final rules established Application Programming Interface (API) requirements based on HL7® FHIR® for healthcare providers, EHR vendors and payers to support patients’ access and control of their electronic health information. ONC adopted a rich and rigorous testing tool called Inferno to ensure and verify that API vendors are following the industry standards for FHIR and complying with Cures Act requirements. The certification from Drummond Group, which is authorized by ONC to test FHIR servers using Inferno, validated BlueButtonPRO as the first FHIR based API to pass all the requirements.

BlueButtonPRO™ can be integrated with any EHR to meet the Cures Act requirements mandated by ONC for all EHR Vendors. It also meets and exceeds the CMS Interoperability and Patient Access final rule requirements for payers.

“BlueButtonPRO™ is an end-to-end FHIR solution to connect providers, payers and patients. We are excited to offer this first of a kind ‘plug-and-play’ solution to the market to accelerate the adoption of FHIR within the healthcare community and reduce development time for EHR Vendors and Payers,” said Pawan Jindal, CEO of Darena Solutions.

This certification does not represent an endorsement by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
