DENVER, CO, USA - Analytica Ltd (ASX: ALT manufacturer of the PeriCoach System, is pleased to announce that the company has entered a distribution agreement with Current Technology, Inc. in the United States of America.
Following USFDA clearance in March 2015 the PeriCoach System was commercially launched in the US on June 23, 2015. Current Technology, Inc. has been a specialized distribution partner to physical therapists and medical practitioners in the pelvic rehabilitation market for over 20 years. They represent surface electromyography (EMG) and electrical stimulation products for clinical and home use, and exhibits at American Physical Therapist Association (APTA) Women’s Health Section continuing education seminars reaching 300+ pelvic health physical therapists annually. The APTA Women’s Health Section has over 2300 members and holds a range of training courses across the US.
Under the non-exclusive agreement Current Technology, Inc. will wholesale purchase the PeriCoach units from Analytica and will engage in marketing and sales activities through their extensive existing sales network. This sales channel will enhance Analytica’s own US based distribution. Customer registration and maintenance of patient training records data will remain with Analytica.
“The PeriCoach System is a natural product line extension to offer our clinical partners and women they serve,” said Rod Pitsch, founder and president of Current Technology, Inc. “Having been in this business and working with clinicians in the Pelvic Floor Muscle Training arena for 24 years, I know the challenges faced with adherence and management when away from the clinician office. The technology and ease of the PeriCoach with the benefit of real-time biofeedback I believe will be a great benefit to women.”
Analytica’s Denver based Vice President of Global Sales & Marketing, Megan Henken noted “Partnering with Current Technology strengthens PeriCoach’s market penetration in the USA. We are very excited to be working with a company that has such a strong foundation in pelvic rehabilitation.”
