A group member recently asked, “Where can I find companies with new medical devices or procedures or new products and who want to come to markets in SE Asia, Australia, Europe and Israel. Companies in US or Canada?”

How would you advise him?

just back from Medica and Plastics Meeting and found more companies wanting me to help them than distributors; thanks for input. Is there any sort of list of distributors for US available?

I suppose one way would be to post such a desire here…because you found one. We are anticipating our ISO 13485 and CE Mark within a couple of months. Currently only one product line FDA cleared (ProFlex LLF holmium laser lithotripsy fibers for Lumenis/Coherent, Dornier, New Star/StoneLight, Trimedyne and other lasers) but a side fire fiber (ProFlex LDD and ProFlex LDDe) rated at 200W for thulium and diode lasers should be cleared by AUA2016 in San Diego (booth 2222). And we are developing a purple/blue laser for BPH and other highly vascular tissues. If interested, contact info@innovaquartz.com.

I would say that “you go and knock on various doors” (social media, tradeshow or trade conferences/meetings, etc.). You may also contact us at info@regulatorydoctor.us
