Revolutionary Bone Marrow Technology Available in 50 Health Care Centers in US
SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- In just six months, Vidacare Corporation’s OnControl™ Bone Marrow System hit its first significant growth milestone and is now available in 50 health care centers across the United States. The OnControl System, which commercially launched in March of 2010, is now a part of standard practice procedures in thought-leading institutions in California, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin, with additional institutions adopting the technology daily.
Physicians in the oncology and hematology communities are rapidly adopting this innovative technology because it delivers high quality core samples using OnControl’s patented needle design and power driver system. In addition, the procedure takes much less time than a traditional manual procedure, making it more tolerable for the patient.
"The OnControl System has provided the Department of Pathology with very generous core biopsies of bone. The samples are the best that I have ever seen. This device, I guarantee, represents an important improvement in good patient care,” commented Dr. Felix Martinez, a Pathologist in Spokane, Washington whose hospital has adopted the technology.
“The OnControl system was nothing short of amazing,” commented Tracy, the wife of a Leukemia patient on whom the System was used. “Our doctor got through the bone in less than 15 seconds, as opposed to 30+ minutes. Unbelievable! The whole procedure took less than two minutes and the sample was PERFECT. No question – perfect. I feel like we got an accurate reading from the lab with such an excellent sample to work with.”
The OnControl™ Bone Marrow System provides the first significant advance in bone marrow biopsy and aspiration procedures in over 50 years by combining a specially designed needle with a powered driver to obtain high quality core samples, usually in under 2 minutes. First introduced commercially in March of 2010, the OnControl Bone Marrow System offers clinicians a safe, fast and easy way to perform bone marrow aspiration and biopsy procedures and offers patients a more tolerable experience.
Established in 2001, Vidacare is the leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of advanced intraosseous (inside the bone) technology which offers the potential to establish new standards of clinical excellence in the safe, rapid performance of medical procedures using the intraosseous space.
