Whether the interest is in a quick path to liquidity or the desire for a broader partnership, we are open to the full spectrum of possibilities.

Aeroflow Healthcare, a leading durable medical equipment (DME) provider and Inc. 5000 fastest growing company, today announced the launch of Aeroflow Ventures. Aeroflow Ventures is a new division within the organization focused exclusively on mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and private equity investment in DME companies nationwide.

“For DME companies that are considering partnership, sales, or spin-off opportunities, there are so many ways to achieve an outcome that works for everyone,” said Scott Sonnone, CFO at Aeroflow. “Whether the interest is in a quick path to liquidity or the desire for a broader partnership, we are open to the full spectrum of possibilities,” said Sonnone. “Our willingness to look at all potential structures is really what sets us apart.” Aeroflow Ventures’ investment decisions will be driven by financial metrics, but also will weigh intangible concerns such as patient care and transition, cultural fit, employee retention, and other integration-related issues.

Aeroflow Ventures is a critical piece of the Company’s overall strategic vision and growth strategy. Significant capital and resources have been dedicated to this initiative, with particular interest in the areas of sleep therapy, urology and incontinence and maternity care. “We are also interested in opportunities outside of these categories, so long as there are identifiable synergies to be realized,” added Sonnone.

This announcement comes at the same time the company has launched its new website at https://aeroflowinc.com/. The new comprehensive website has been redesigned to provide an overview of Aeroflow’s primary segments and clarify the organization’s strengths to both patients and industry stakeholders.

NeoTract Designates Dr. Benjamin Larson as UroLift® Center of Excellence


News Image

“We are proud to name Dr. Benjamin Larson as a UroLift Center of Excellence and provider of care for men with enlarged prostate symptoms using the UroLift System treatment,” 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 Benjamin Larson, M.D., Tri Valley Urology in Murrieta, CA, has been designated as a UroLift® Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. Larson 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 proud to name Dr. Benjamin Larson as a UroLift Center of Excellence and provider of care for men with enlarged prostate symptoms using the UroLift System treatment,” said Dave Amerson, president of the Teleflex Interventional Urology business unit. “The UroLift System is a safe and effective treatment that allows physicians to treat men in-office under local anesthesia, so they can experience lasting symptom relief within days after receiving treatment.”

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.

Free online tool for designing reliable generator systems now available for vital healthcare facilities, for whom a power outage could be catastrophic


Backup generator system

A modern, reliable backup generator system might be more vital than ever in 2020

We recognize the incredible strain that recent events are causing to vital healthcare facilities…. Having reliable back-up power is critical, and anyone can use our online tools to find out what they need to make that happen.

In times of widespread uncertainty, the dependability of our most essential life-sustaining utilities becomes even more important. The proliferation of COVID-19 has forced critical healthcare facilities into mandatory isolation, and the availability of service and repair workers is becoming limited due to quarantine-related workforce reductions. These facilities must maintain constant power, and with hurricane season approaching in the spring, this becomes an even more pressing concern. Preferred Utilities Manufacturing now offers a set of free online tools that anyone can use for designing these emergency generators and planning fuel loads.

Emergency generators are playing a crucial role in ensuring that these facilities have an uninterrupted source of power available “off the grid” as needed. Preferred’s free online tools are designed specifically to help facilities not only design the most functional emergency generator plan, but also to meet rules and regulations like those in Florida that require critical healthcare facilities to have effective generators.

“Our web tool really provides a head start on emergency generator design and planning,” David Eoff, Preferred’s National Manager. “One of its most important features is the capability to calculate fuel load needs and main tank storage size, as well as fuel oil pumps and piping systems. These things are often regulated by the state, so accuracy is paramount.”

Engineers can design a system for any number of generators, with a standard pump control program that can handle up to two-day tanks and up to two main storage tanks. No programming and minimal engineering are required. This is important for any facility that is without sufficient backup emergency generators, but it’s especially crucial for those that could be facing the beginning of hurricane season while still on virus-related lockdown.

“We recognize the incredible strain that recent events are causing to vital healthcare facilities and the public at large, with the older end of the population widely considered to be the most at-risk,” said David Bohn, President and CEO of Preferred Utilities Manufacturing. “Having reliable back-up power is critical, and anyone can use our online tools to find out what they need to make that happen.”

Caring.com Study Highlights Steps Senior Living Communities Are Taking to Protect Their Residents


News Image

Caring.com, a highly-regarded senior care referral service and the nation’s leading site for senior care reviews, has published an in-depth report on what senior living communities are doing to protect their residents from COVID-19, also known as the coronavirus disease. Due to the increased risk to older adults, it’s difficult to ensure that seniors who need daily care are also kept as safe from the coronavirus as possible. This report examines the precautions senior living communities are taking, when your loved one may actually be safer in a senior living community, and alternative care options for those who don’t need daily attention and care.

According to a March 26th report by the CDC on the case outcomes from COVID-19, adults between the ages of 75 and 84 have a fatality rate that ranges between 4% and 11%. For adults ages 85 and older, the fatality rate is even worse ranging from 10% to 27%. For this reason, it’s vital for older adults to practice social distancing and take as many precautions as possible. However, many need daily care, and those who are not currently in senior living communities may face more risk from their loved ones or other caregivers if there aren’t proper precautions in place. Additionally, there’s the risk that primary caregivers may get sick and not be able to provide the care needed.

Caring.com’s report finds that seniors who need daily care should carefully consider their options, including senior living communities that are taking the proper steps to protect their residents, as a community is often the best place for seniors to receive the care they need. The report details the steps that many communities are taking, so that prospective residents can identify communities that are proactively ensuring their residents’ safety.

Proper Precautions for Senior Living Communities to Limit the Spread of COVID-19

Visitor restrictions

Many senior living communities are currently instructing any would-be visitors not to enter and to postpone their visit if they have recently been sick or are showing any signs of illness. Anyone who has been exposed to someone who is sick, whether with coronavirus or another illness, within the last two weeks is also being asked not to enter most senior living communities at this time. In some areas, communities are not allowing any visitors at all. Communities that are allowing visitors are requiring all people to wash their hands or use hand sanitizer immediately upon entering the community. The goal is to eliminate the risk of visitors bringing coronavirus or any other type of immune-weakening illness into the community.

Staff are being instructed to stay home if they have symptoms of any type of illness

In addition to restricting visitors who may be sick, staff members are also instructed to stay home if they are exhibiting any symptoms of coronavirus or the cold, flu, or any other illness. In most communities, staff members spend time with many different residents throughout the day. If a staff member is sick, the likelihood of them passing the illness along to multiple recipients is high. Thus, it is especially important that staff do not work when there’s any chance that they may be sick and could introduce an illness to the community.

Postponing activities and limiting access to communal spaces

Because residents live in apartment-style units and tend to eat, relax, and congregate in communal areas, it can be difficult to implement social distancing in senior care communities. To help prevent the spread of coronavirus, some communities are postponing or altering group activities for the foreseeable future and closing common areas or restricting access to these areas to limited hours and limited residents at a time. This gives staff more time to adequately clean the areas.

Enhanced cleaning procedures

While senior living communities always need to maintain cleanliness, right now, communities are adhering to more strict cleaning procedures. The CDC recommends that long-term care communities frequently clean any and all frequently-touched surfaces and shared areas with hospital-grade disinfectants. If communities are choosing to leave common areas open for residents, they should be especially diligent in disinfecting surfaces like couches and shared exercise equipment multiple times throughout the day.

Resident assessments

Communities are regularly screening residents for any symptoms of coronavirus, specifically respiratory distress. Daily screening can help communities catch any case of coronavirus early and prevent further community spread. In addition to daily health screenings, communities are scheduling regular hand washings throughout the day.

Rapid, simple and proven stress and anxiety reduction app, Zenpower, now available for free


Fast, Simple Proven

Launched formally in November 2019, the stress reduction App, Zenpower, is now free to all.

There are times when we all face new stresses, anxieties and fears. Working from home, family holidays, Christmas, periods of conflict and extending the family to include our parents are a few common times.These include the frustration of being unable to live and work normally, the anxiety of isolation, the worry about friends and relatives, the stress of coping with working from home particularly when children are there too. But help is at hand. Free on request, download the http://www.zenpower.co.uk app and use company code 281270 when you register. It takes a maximum of seven minutes to deliver an unique response to stress anxiety and worry issues directly into the home, work-space, or office. Totally confidential, on average, users get a 71% reduction in their distress levels.

The Zenpower app can deliver a fast response to stress issues directly into the home, workspace, or office. Originally developed in 2007 to help reduce exam stress for children, it expanded to helping companies combat stress in the workplace. Zenpower is now being made available free for 60 days to anyone who needs it. Reducing stress and anxiety in everyday life. Reducing stress in the home is one of the founders clear purposes.

It simply involves downloading an app and then following its undemanding guidance. This involves a combination of modern Western psychology and Eastern acupressure—the system of tapping parts of the face or body with the fingertips.

Zenpower was created by CEO and Executive coach Steve McNulty and Harley St, London based practitioner, international trainer and public speaker, Kevin Laye, who say results have shown that a session can help alleviate stress and anxiety in seven minutes or less. The companies who installed Zenpower for the use of their employees all report positive results.

McNulty says…“While the app was developed directly from our work with reducing exam stress for children it expanded to companies dealing with work-place stress”. Laye adds…“We felt right at the start in 2007 that, if Zenpower could help, we should make it freely available to as many people as possible.”

While for many people the idea of tapping may seem a little strange the Zenpower builders insist their technique is “incredibly intuitive and easy to follow”. As well as tapping the body lightly but firmly with two or three fingers users are also requested to perform simple eye movements.

To download the app now simply visit our website and download our app at http://www.zenpower.co.uk and enter 281270 as the company code to access free for 90 days.

RealTime Software Solutions keeping clinical research moving amid COVID-19 crisis


News Image

If we can keep clinical research moving with absolutely no additional risk to sponsor/CRO staff, then we can keep searching for better treatments and cures when they are most needed.

As COVID-19 clinical trials start to ramp up around the country, the research industry has struggled to continue operating. As more and more cities implement orders to shelter in place, the way clinical trials are monitored has faced a challenge.

RealTime Software Solutions, a San Antonio based software company, is giving the industry a facelift that may forever change how research is conducted. Clinical trial monitors have historically visited research sites in person, collecting and monitoring crucial trial data. As most (if not all) sponsors and contract research organizations (CRO) have halted travel, and many sites limiting access to their locations, the need for other options has emerged.

“Sponsors and CRO’s are facing serious challenges in gaining access to study data and regulatory documents for important monitoring activities,” says Rick Greenfield, CEO of RealTime. “A rudimentary, inefficient and non-regulatory compliant solution, is for sites to scan and email these confidential and highly sensitive documents to the monitors for review.”

In steps RealTime.

“RealTime is now implementing emergency measures and spinning up complete portals for sponsors and CRO’s to deliver monitoring systems to their sites,” says Greenfield. “This will allow a quick and easy option for sites to upload data source and regulatory documents for review. These systems are FDA Part-11 and HIPAA compliant, and provide excellent categorization and version control of uploaded study data for efficient monitoring.”

RealTime portals also include two-way data monitoring communication to maintain a strong connection between the sites and study-management personnel.

“This is such a challenging time for the entire world, and we are all trying to make sense of the massive change that has taken place in our society and the global economy,” says Greenfield. “Just like everyone else, we are looking for ways to help and we are thankful to have been working for the past several years on systems that can provide a major benefit to the clinical research industry at this most critical time of need. I urge all Sponsors and CROs to reach out to RealTime as we can deliver a complete monitoring portal to run multiple clinical trials for an unlimited number of sites within 48 hours. We can train on the usage and have these systems fully operational in less than a week.”

RealTime has been at the forefront of clinical research technology, providing cutting-edge software to an industry that has been somewhat antiquated. This latest technology may change how trials are conducted and monitored, allowing a more streamlined approach.

“If we can keep clinical research moving with absolutely no additional risk to sponsor/CRO staff, then we can keep searching for better treatments and cures when they are most needed,” says Greenfield.

About RealTime

RealTime is a leader in advanced clinical research software with leading Clinical Trial Management Systems (CTMS), eSOURCE and eDOCS portals for completely paperless clinical trials. The value of these systems is shining bright during this difficult time and allowing clinical research to continue for the benefit of medical advancements to include COVID-19 vaccine and treatment studies.

PlaceMe Addresses Critical Need for Community Hospitals & Emergency Workers


PlaceMe housing

PlaceMe will provide healthcare workers with the necessary distancing to keep families safe while offering the comfort of a home away from home.

PlaceMe, a Hispanic-owned, female-led co-living company with expertise in offering shared, furnished apartments to young professionals in multi-family apartment buildings is quickly pivoting its business model to offer flexible housing for our community’s healthcare workforce.

To address healthcare workers’ concern of passing COVID-19 on to their family when they return from work, PlaceMe is introducing a special flat rent of $1,200 per month, including utilities and internet, with no security deposit necessary. These leases will be month-to-month for as long as needed during this crisis, and exclusive to those in the front line combating the virus. Each property has three to five bedrooms, and PlaceMe has a total of 100 beds available for April and May.

“We want PlaceMe apartments to be a place for workers to rejuvenate when they are off duty, while remaining centrally located near Boston’s hospitals,” says Clara Arroyave, CEO and founder of PlaceMe. “There is a great deal of stress on essential workers, one of the greatest is the risk of exposing their family to COVID-19. PlaceMe apartments provide the necessary distancing to keep families safe while offering the comforts of a home.”

PlaceMe provides fully furnished apartments including kitchens, common areas, and bedrooms. Their deep roots in the local communities bordering hospitals such as MGH and Brigham & Women’s PlaceMe makes it possible for emergency workers to stay closer to work and to align with partnerships with other local businesses for additional services like food delivery and transportation to support the essential workers in their day to day living.

PlaceMe’s move to meet the needs of the community during these unprecedented times is an uplifting example of how small businesses across the city are stepping up to service our healthcare workers during this crisis.

How to Implement Social Distancing Practices in Your Workplace


A combination of floor marking and visual communication can help your workers and your customers practice distancing.

Creative Safety Supply, an Oregon-based retailer of industrial safety and Lean manufacturing products, has created a new guide to social distancing in the workplace.

This quick guide showcases essential distancing supplies and illustrates steps to take to incorporate the concept of social distancing in your facility.

Also known as “physical distancing,” social distancing is the practice of staying six feet away from other people and avoiding person-to-person contact in order to prevent the spread of respiratory illness.

Along with other guidelines, the CDC has established six feet as the standard safe distance due to the fact that this is how far respiratory droplets can travel when someone sneezes or coughs.

It is also important to avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth and wash your hands after coming into contact with communal surfaces, as viruses can exist on a variety of surfaces for several hours and even days at a time.

To incorporate these practices at work, it helps to establish visual reminders and markings to indicate how workers and customers can comply. Products such as floor tape, floor signs, and wall signs provide essential reminders and examples.

Floor tape shapes such as dots and footprints are extremely helpful in showing customers where to stand in line, or employees where to conduct their work, six feet apart. Lines of floor tape establish clear pathways and can provide essential messaging. Wall signs that remind people to wash their hands and keep their distance are also great tools to encourage mindful social distancing.

Using a combination of floor marking and visual communication can help your workers and your customers practice distancing in order to reduce the likelihood of contracting a respiratory illness.

Creative Safety Supply’s downloadable quick guide shows you how you can implement social distancing in your business by providing helpful tools and steps. Download, print, and share the guide so everyone in your facility understands how to practice safe distancing.

As an essential business, Creative Safety Supply continues to support the safety and wellness of workers. On top of its social distancing tools and Lean healthcare products, the company offers a variety of resources to help you maintain a clean and successful facility.

About Creative Safety Supply

Creative Safety Supply is an Oregon-based supplier of Lean and safety manufacturing products that help businesses solve their workplace safety and productivity challenges. The company’s LabelTac® industrial label printers, SafetyTac® floor marking tape, and other visual tools make it easier for safety managers, facility managers, and business owners to simplify navigation in their workplaces.
