NeoTract Designates Dr. Anand Shridharani as UroLift® Center of Excellence

Leave a comment


News Image

“We are pleased to recognize Dr. Anand Shridharani as a UroLift Center of Excellence for his commitment to providing consistent care to BPH patients using the UroLift System treatment,” said Dave Amerson


PLEASANTON, Calif. (PRWEB)

NeoTract, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX) focused on addressing unmet needs in the field of urology, today announced that Anand Shridharani, M.D., Academic Urology at Erlanger in Chattanooga, TN, has been designated as a UroLift® Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. Shridharani 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.

“We are pleased to recognize Dr. Anand Shridharani as a UroLift Center of Excellence for his commitment to providing consistent care to BPH patients using the UroLift System treatment,” said Dave Amerson, president of the Teleflex Interventional Urology business unit. “This achievement has helped many patients experience durable, longterm relief from the burdensome symptoms of BPH while preserving sexual function*1,2.”

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.

Briarwood Detox Center Enhances Client Safety With COVID-19 Testing and Online Drug Rehab

Leave a comment


By providing third-party COVID-19 testing and offering a new online treatment program, we are empowering clients to get the help they need safely and securely. The present circumstances are difficult, but should not keep people from receiving the care they need.


AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)

Briarwood Detox Center has partnered with Clinical Pathology Laboratories to provide diagnostic COVID-19 testing, which will improve preventative measures onsite and slow the spread of the illness in the greater community. Tests will be available to clients and staff as deemed necessary, with results available in 24 to 48 hours.

Briarwood Detox Center has also rolled out a new online IOP program, offered through its sister companies, Eudaimonia Recovery Homes and Nova Recovery Center. The comprehensive online addiction treatment program provides ongoing treatment after detox via real-time video sessions. Licensed addiction treatment specialists facilitate the groups and clients can attend sessions several times a week from the comfort of their own homes or elsewhere.

Mat Gorman, Chief Executive Officer at Briarwood Detox Center, said, “By providing third-party COVID-19 testing and offering a new online treatment program, we are empowering clients to get the help they need safely and securely. The present circumstances are difficult, but should not keep people from receiving the care they need.”

The need for COVID-19 testing will be determined by Briarwood Detox Center staff on a case-by-case basis and appropriate actions will be taken to ensure the continued safety and well-being of all clients and staff members.

COVID-19 poses additional dangers for individuals who are recovering from addiction or facing substance abuse issues. If infected with the new coronavirus, drug abusers may face more severe health issues due to the negative effects of certain addictive substances. Other barriers such as a lack of health insurance coverage and reduced access to substance abuse treatment due to an overwhelmed health care system, may also greatly increase the risk of relapse or overdose.

Convenient and safe access to COVID-19 testing and addiction treatment services can help pave the way for sustainable and lasting recovery, despite the current pandemic.

About Briarwood Detox Center

Briarwood Detox Center provides medical drug and alcohol detox and stabilization programs in Austin and Houston. All detox programs are individually designed to cater to the needs of each client and multidisciplinary treatment reduces the risk of relapse and lays a solid groundwork for lasting recovery.

Introducing The Only Oral Care Brand With Activated Zinc Ions

Leave a comment


SmartMouth Oral Care | THINK ZINC

SmartMouth’s Resident Dentist and ADA Member Dr. Elizabeth Clary affirms, “Nothing works better than SmartMouth’s Activated Zinc Ion Technology.”


ST. LOUIS (PRWEB)

Disruptive oral care company, SmartMouth, makers of the patented 24 hour mouth rinse, announced today their latest innovation to hit the oral care category. In recent weeks, consumers across the globe seem to have one thing on the brain: Zinc. No better time to introduce current and potential consumers to the first ever Activated Zinc, which can only be found in the SmartMouth suite of oral care rinses.

The mouth is the gateway to the body. “Your body can affect your mouth and likewise, your mouth can affect your body,” says Pamela McClain, DDS, president of the American Academy of Periodontology. “Taking good care of your teeth and gums can really help you live well longer.”

According to The Mayo Clinic, studies suggest that oral bacteria and the inflammation associated with severe gum disease, or periodontitis, may play a role in some diseases. In order to prevent this, The Mayo Clinic suggests practicing good oral hygiene on a daily basis, including the use of mouthwash to remove food particles left after brushing and flossing.

SmartMouth’s suite of Activated Oral Rinses deliver oral health benefits through their patented two solution system with Zinc Ion Technology.

SmartMouth is the only mouthwash that contains Activated Zinc Ions. When the two SmartMouth solutions are combined, billions of activated Zinc Ions are released which bind to the bacteria in the mouth, inhibiting the bacteria’s ability produce stinky sulfur gas, the real cause of bad breath, for 12 hours with every rinse.

SmartMouth’s Resident Dentist and ADA Member Dr. Elizabeth Clary affirms, “Nothing works better than SmartMouth’s Activated Zinc Ion Technology.”

Zinc not only disrupts bacteria in the mouth, according to The National Institutes of Health, when Zinc is administered as a lozenge or Zinc-containing syrup that temporarily “sticks” in the mouth and throat, allowing Zinc to make contact with rhinovirus in those areas, several studies have found Zinc to significantly reduce the duration of cold symptoms, including cough, nasal discharge and muscle aches. Additionally, a Cochrane review concluded that “Zinc (lozenges or syrup) is beneficial in reducing the duration and severity of the common cold in healthy people, when taken within 24 hours of onset of symptoms.”

For a healthier state of the mouth, THINK ZINC. Think SmartMouth.

About SmartMouth Oral Health Laboratories

SmartMouth Oral Health Laboratories manufactures and markets SmartMouth branded mouthwash, toothpaste and mints through national retailers and online. Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, SmartMouth has been working to eliminate and prevent bad breath since 1993.

Center for Vein Restoration’s Telemedicine Service Surpasses 1,000 Patient Visits

Leave a comment


The accelerated development of this critical offering is a testament to the nimble, multitalented staff here at CVR, and I couldn’t be prouder of the way we rose to the challenge and pushed to adapt for the benefit of our patients, our employees, and communities across the country.


GREENBELT, Md. (PRWEB)

Center for Vein Restoration (CVR), the national leader in treating venous disorders, today announced it has conducted more than 1,000 virtual patient consultations since late March, when the company first launched their telemedicine appointment option. CVR’s Telemedicine Program was developed entirely in-house and fully operational in less than 7 days. Thus far, telemedicine has proven to be a critical resource as the organization continues to serve patient needs despite disruptions caused by COVID-19. CVR is still seeing patients in-office as needed, though many patients have opted for a telemedicine visit for initial screenings and follow-up appointments.

“Much like other specialty providers and small businesses nationwide, CVR has been faced with a range of challenges in recent weeks brought about by evolving circumstances related to COVID-19,” said Dr. Sanjiv Lakhanpal, Founder and CEO. “The accelerated development of this critical offering is a testament to the nimble, multitalented staff here at CVR, and I couldn’t be prouder of the way we rose to the challenge and pushed to adapt for the benefit of our patients, our employees, and communities across the country.”

He continued, “This unfortunate situation has brought the opportunity to recalibrate how we provide care. If these first 1,000 encounters have taught us anything, it will be that our workflows may change, but more efficient care can be the result. That is our silver lining,” Dr. Lakhanpal ended.

As COVID-19 began to place pressure on many U.S. businesses early last month, Dr. Lakhanpal convened a response team of in-house clinical, technical, and operational experts. This team, led by Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Khanh Nguyen; Vice President of Human Resources, Wendy Walker; Director of Operations, Yoanna Carrillo; and Director of IT Development, Rohan Vanjara, worked quickly to explore ways CVR could continue to provide needed support to patients throughout the pandemic, in a manner adaptable to evolving state-by-state guidance and regulations.

The final product has enabled CVR to complement ongoing in-office procedures with streamlined digital services—offering a glimpse of how a patient journey may change long-term post-COVID.

“To build our program, we had to shift how we defined an ‘appointment’ and learn what interfaces would make our patients and providers most comfortable communicating in a digital environment,” remarked Carrillo. “But thanks to our incredible foundation in technology, the relentless spirit of our clinical team, and the all-hands-on-deck approach from our leadership, we’ve been able to immediately provide access to care for our patients nationwide.”

As guidance from government and public health officials continues to evolve, CVR is committed to maintaining the safety and overall wellbeing of patients and staff as a top priority.

ABOUT VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY

Venous insufficiency, the cause of significant suffering due to the sequelae of venous hypertension, most commonly arises as achy, tired and heavy legs. It may or may not be associated with varicose veins, spider veins or skin changes including venous ulcerations and indiscriminately affects between 30–40 million Americans. Numerous factors including age, weight, prolonged sitting or standing, genetics or a history of DVT (blood clots) can increase the risk of developing this common and often underdiagnosed disorder. Treatment options have evolved to an array of minimally invasive procedures in an office setting.

ABOUT CENTER FOR VEIN RESTORATION

Center for Vein Restoration (CVR) is the largest physician-led practice treating vein disease in the country. Having performed its first procedure in 2007 under President and CEO Dr. Sanjiv Lakhanpal, Center for Vein Restoration has since become nationally recognized as the clinical leader in treating chronic venous insufficiency. With 90 centers and growing, CVR has over 600 employees and conducts over 200,000 patient interactions annually.

Landaal Packaging utilizes manufacturing capability to make and donate face shields for local hospitals and first responders

Leave a comment


Our first responders and health care professionals are putting their lives and the lives of their families on the line every day, so we knew we had to quickly determine how we could best provide a solution. — Mark Landaal, VP of Sales and Marketing


BURTON, Mich. (PRWEB)

Due to the rapid rise of COVID-19 cases across the world, we are experiencing a shortage of personal protection equipment (PPE) for our local health care workers, first responders and other essential employees. The state of Michigan has been hit especially hard by the virus. Currently, Michigan ranks fifth highest in the nation for number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 and numbers are still on the rise.

Recognizing the risk to the safety of the community, Landaal Packaging leadership saw an opportunity to help address the PPE shortage. To ease some of the local demand, a team of designers and production members at Landaal Packaging Systems came together to design, test, and produce over 2,800 face shields for local essential workers in need.

“Our community has faced hardships in the past, but nothing quite like this,” explains Mark Landaal, VP of Sales and Marketing for Landaal Packaging. “Making face shields aligns with both our manufacturing capabilities and our commitment to philanthropy and community service. Our first responders and health care professionals are putting their lives and the lives of their families on the line every day, so we knew we had to quickly determine how we could best provide a solution.”

Born of innovation, Landaal Packaging’s focus was to create a simple and effective face shield that could be produced and distributed as quickly as possible. “Being a domestic manufacturer puts us in a unique position to address the challenges brought on by COVID-19,” explains Mark Landaal. Once the design was completed, Landaal Packaging sourced the necessary materials from their supply network and using existing equipment, such as the ZUND Digital Cutting System, began producing face shield components.

All the shields were then assembled and packaged for safe transit. “By simply shifting some of our resources and our production capacity to creating disposable face shields, we help alleviate some of the demand for PPE in our community,” adds Mark Landaal. Once produced, the face shields were then donated to local hospitals and organizations in need.

“Though times are hard, Michiganders are strong and resourceful. Landaal Packaging and its associates are committed to our community, so donating the face shields was just the right thing to do.”

From Bikinis to Face Masks – How a Los Angeles Bikini Manufacturer Pivoted to Solve a Crisis

Leave a comment


Bikinis are hot. Face masks are even hotter.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Bikinis are hot. Face masks are even hotter. Many retailers are in short supply, as demand has never been stronger, and shipments from overseas are delayed.

One Los Angeles manufacturer is stepping up in a time of crisis. Superior Bias has just launched a new line of affordable and stylish face masks. The business, owned by Joe and Alex Menichini, has produced swimwear and other apparel since 1978.

The new venture is called Face Masks L.A. (http://www.FaceMasks-LA.com) All masks are manufactured in Los Angeles, and the staff is following proper safe-distancing and disinfectant protocols.

According to Alex Menichini, “Our face masks are double-layered and washable. We only use premium fabrics in order to provide a protective barrier for the nose and mouth.”

Joe adds, “On a personal level, it’s important to us to make these masks affordable for everyone, because the price-gouging we’ve seen is just plain wrong. Hopefully, we can help provide a solution in a time of crisis.”

The Menichinis have ramped up production and are able to provide much faster delivery than overseas manufacturers. Plus, it is a time when Made in America means so much more.

Face Masks L.A. produces a variety of styles and colors of face masks, all of which are double-layered and feature a pocket for disposable filters. Each mask comes with 10 disposable filters.

About Face Masks L.A.

Face Masks L.A. was created by Superior Bias to serve a public need – both wholesale and retail. Superior Bias was approved by the City of Los Angeles to take part in the L.A. Protects Program that allows certified garment manufacturers to remain open, provided that certain safety procedures are followed. All masks are produced by hand in Los Angeles by a dedicated team of craftspeople.

AVUITY Introduces Solutions to Enable Safe Return to Work During COVID-19

Leave a comment

CINCINNATI (PRWEB)

AVUITY, an industry leader in hardware and software for workspace intelligence and management, today announced a suite of health and safety offerings designed to help reduce the risks of Covid-19 transmission among workers. These extensions of AVUITY’s space utilization software and occupancy sensor platform are specifically designed to inform and guide today’s evolving return-to-work strategies.

The new features will make the upcoming return to work simpler and safer for AVUITY clients and their employees. These new features include:

  • Real-time notifications if spaces are either too highly populated or areas have reached a threshold density based on maximum capacity.

  • Automatic booking of nearby workstations to limit the number of workers in immediate proximity to one another for high usage zones.

  • Notifications when workstations, meeting rooms, cafés, or bathrooms have reached a threshold of visitors and require their next cleaning.

  • Ability to adjust protocols for space usage as health concerns change over time, preparing businesses for any future changes that might impact workspace safety.

“Making sure the next several months see a carefully planned return-to-work strategy where workers can both restart efficient work in the office while maintaining social distancing is key,” said Brad Johnson, AVUITY CEO. “These offerings allow employers to make informed, data-driven decisions about workspace management and employee safety that could help mitigate the transmission of the virus in the workplace.”

Additional features and capabilities will be rolled out in the days ahead, including notifications and booking capabilities on the density of workers in space as well as headcount and population benchmarks to help organizations comply with health and safety protocols as employees return to the office. AVUITY is looking to launch these features and enhancements by mid-May.

From occupancy sensors and room booking, to space measurement and customized reporting, AVUITY gives businesses the data they need to understand how their space and amenities are being used so they can make informed workspace management decisions and improve employee experience.
