Laminin To Produce New Antiemetic Medical Device For Pressure Point
Newswise — Grand Rapids, MICH – November 12, 2012 – A new effective perioperative, antiemetic medical device has been developed by Pressure Point Inc., a global medical device company and Laminin Medical Products, an FDA registered establishment. Both companies jointly announcing a long-term manufacturing agreement in which Laminin will produce Pressure Right®, a new FDA-cleared (Rx) disposable, antiemetic innovation device, which uses advanced acupressure technology to enhance the management of nausea/and or vomiting following surgery.
According to anesthesia experts, there is a high incidence of postdischarge nausea and vomiting (PDNV) after outpatients are released from ambulatory care centers. Pressure Right® is clinically proven for long-acting prophylactic antiemetic effectiveness (up to 72 hours) after patient emergence from anesthesia. Pressure Right® has proven to help patients overcome the onset of nausea/and or vomiting attributable to motion sickness during the car ride home after ambulatory surgery, as well as, during the postoperative recovery period at home.
Joseph DiLustro, CEO & Chairman of Pressure Point, Inc. commented about the association with Laminin, “It allows our company to effectively market our innovation device product knowing that we can feel secure about the manufacturing quality of Pressure Right® on a consistent and reliable basis. We expect to grow our business both domestically and internationally with the support of the Laminin team.”
Jon Rudolph, President of Laminin Medical Products had this to say about the agreement, “When we met Joe two years ago, we decided to also become an equity investor in Pressure Point because we saw the potential of the company’s future product line.” Rudolph further added, “Our research and development team at Laminin work diligently to help plan the Pressure Right® innovative features, so that the product could undergo stringent performance testing in order to achieve FDA clearance for the product’s intended surgery use as an antiemetic medical device.” “We are looking forward to working with the Laminin team in the future on other disposable acupressure-based applications for clinical testing,” added DiLustro.
