The company released the
following statement: "XTend Medical is pleased to
announce that we have secured the global distribution rights to
DDI's patented
vibration technology device, now in its fourth generation. Once
the FDA has
cleared the device for sale, we will immediately begin marketing
the product
to our managed care companies and the various physicians and
patients here in
the U.S. We're also in negotiations to market the product in
South Korea and
Europe based on their separate criteria needs for final
approval. Once these
are received, then we'll target these markets heavily. Although
the device
can pre-screen people that may have diabetic neuropathy, the
first signs that
diabetes may be present, it also assists the current diabetic
patient with
monitoring their neuropathy levels so their disease is managed
correctly. We
anticipate this device to bring in additional sales upwards of
$5 million per
year in the U.S. and possibly three times that amount globally,"
stated Mr.
Paul D. Lisenby, CEO of XTend Medical.
