Siemens Healthcare has formed a distribution partnership with Vertec Scientific to extend the reach of its ultrasound imaging solutions in the UK market.
Vertec will exclusively market the X Class range of ultrasound systems in new or previously unexplored markets such as acute and emergency care, GP services, rheumatology, orthopaedics, chest medicine and anaesthetics.
Under the agreement, Vertec will sell the systems and Siemens Healthcare’s engineers will maintain the technology.
“Vertec is an established and trusted leader in the medical industry and is therefore well placed to develop our position as a specialist in innovative ultrasound solutions,” said Declan Dunphy, Ultrasound Product Manager at Siemens Healthcare. “We welcome Vertec’s expertise and look forward to working closely together to extend our reach in unexplored and emerging markets.”
“Vertec is used to working in niche markets, so we are delighted to work with Siemens Healthcare, extending its ultrasound product offerings in these growing areas,” said Bill Hipgrave, Managing Director at Vertec Scientific. “The engineering quality of the products is beyond question and with a strong service group we can be sure that customers will be well supported.”
Based in Silchester, Vertec Scientific is a major distributor of medical technologies in the UK market. Its experience covers the major diagnostic imaging modalities: CT, digital radiography, MR, ultrasound and DXA.
Siemens Healthcare is a leading global supplier of medical imaging solutions and other healthcare technologies.
