REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE via COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Jan 25, 2005--Looking for an effective and economical solution to control fluid flow through tubing, catheters or cannulae? Look no further. Mor-Gal Plastic Ltd. (Petach-Tikva, Israel) and The Next Phase Marketing Services, Inc. (TNP-MS; Redmond, WA) have closed an agreement for TNP-MS to market Mor-Gal Plastic`s innovative SidePinch(R) Clamp in North America. The SidePinch Clamp (or SPC) is a smart twist on a commonly used medical device component, the well-known pinch clamp.
''The patented SidePinch Clamp is highly versatile. It can be added or removed from medical tubing, catheters, etc. without cutting off the connectors or disturbing the circuitry set-up,'' explains Victoria Hunsicker Sanko, President of TNP-MS. ''With this capability the SPC can be added or removed in an urgent clinical setting, or assembled onto its host device at any step in the manufacturing process.''
The intelligently designed SidePinch Clamp demonstrates optimal performance compared to standard pinch clamps and other more expensive components such as expensive stopcocks and valves. The SPC is an optimal solution to replace slide clamps that can dent or even cut their host devices while in the closed position.
Mor-Gal Plastic can quickly supply the SPC component ''off-the-shelf'' in medical grade nylon in 3 sizes and 4 standard colors. Other materials and colors are available as custom orders.
Mor-Gal`s SPCs have received FDA clearance, Canadian and CE Mark approval for marketing and are protected by U.S. Patent No. 6,234,448, originally filed by Medivice Systems Ltd.
