What We Target
Companies engaged in the manufacturing, wholesaling or retailing of:
- Medical products (e.g. laryngoscopes, stethoscopes, needles / syringes, laser scalpels and general surgical equipment)
- Temporarily invasive medical equipment (e.g. urinary catheters and insulin pumps)
- Diagnostic devices, monitoring/ investigative equipment and substances (e.g. CT scanners, x-ray equipment, pulse oximeters, dialysis machines and contrast agents)
- Items used in a medical or therapeutic context outside the human body (e.g. support devices, plasters, dressings and surgical gloves)
- Robotic medical equipment and dispensing machines
Why We're Different
- Appetite for US exposures including domiciled sales and manufacturing operations
- Ability to cover US parented companies with up to $150M of US turnover
- Research driven methodology with close attention paid to company / government instructed product recalls, advances in technology and regulatory requested amendments to product labelling
- Focus on longevity and depth of relationships with clients and brokers with the ability to back up formally through long term agreements (where appropriate)
- Avoidance of permanently invasive devices allows consistent and cost effective solutions to be provided to rest of the market
