Copenhagen, Denmark, February 2022
Mermaid Medical Group announced today that they have entered an exclusive distribution agreement for BiopSafe in the United Kingdom. The agreement is another step towards providing safe and effective solutions to healthcare professionals. The agreement is effective from February 1st, 2022.
“BiopSafe is a new and revolutionary method of handling biopsies, which can help protect medical personnel all over the world,” says Daniel Lennartz, Sales & Marketing Director in Europe for Mermaid Medical Group. “We are excited to have BiopSafe as part of our portfolio in the UK as well.”
Millions of biopsies are handled in hospitals and clinics every day. This process generally involves the use of formaldehyde, which poses a severe health risk. BiopSafe delivers an efficient solution to this problem by providing safe formaldehyde handling with a simple push of the thumb. The result is that no personnel are exposed to formalin in either liquid or vapor form.
“We have been working with Mermaid Medical in the Nordics for more than 5 years, and we therefore have an established relationship with them,” says Ferran Umbert Jakobsen, Global Sales Director for BiopSafe. “I am confident that Mermaid Medical Group is the right partner to introduce safe biopsy handling to healthcare professionals across the United Kingdom.”
