Revolutionary New Curette Blade Now Available Online

New site features the patented Curetteblade Single Use Surgical Curette Blade

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) July 16, 2003 -- Curetteblade, Inc. (www.curetteblade.com), developer of the Curetteblade Single Use Surgical Curette Blade, the worlds first single use surgical curette blade, announces the launch of the Curetteblade Web Store. Now, healthcare professionals can buy this revolutionary single use curette directly from the manufacturer. The new Curetteblade Web Store features the remarkable Curetteblade Single Use Surgical Curette Blade, previously available only through specialty medical-surgical suppliers.

After three years of development, the patented, sturdy, stainless steel, Curetteblade Single Use Surgical Curette Blade was introduced in May 2003, and has earned international praise as an alternative to both reusable and one-piece disposable curettes. The patented Curetteblade Single Use Surgical Curette Blade fits standard reusable surgical blade handles, offering users the convenience and safety of a disposable, with the strength and sturdy feel of a reusable curette.

Were very pleased with the launch of the Curetteblade Single Use Surgical Curette Blade and the medical communitys overwhelmingly positive response to our product," said Orin M. Goldblum, M.D., inventor of the Curetteblade Single Use Surgical Curette Blade and President of Curetteblade, Inc. More and more physicians and other licensed healthcare professionals are purchasing their medical-surgical supplies through the Internet. We view the Curetteblade Web Store as an opportunity to reach new and existing users, in addition to increasing product recognition and business for our partner distributors."

Dr. Goldblum, an internationally known dermatologist, worked with a team of physicians and engineers to solve the three most pressing problems that physicians face with existing alternatives: sterilization, sharpness and strength. Reusable curettes, unchanged for over 85 years, need to be sterilized after each procedure and require repeated sharpening to ensure blade efficacy. Existing one-piece disposables fail to provide a sturdy blade, handle strength and flexibility of handle choice.

The patented Curetteblade Single Use Surgical Curette Blade is the first single use curette that allows physicians to use any standard surgical blade handle with a blade that meets or exceeds the efficacy and strength of reusables. Early trials confirm that procedures can now be completed faster and at a lower cost than either reusables or currently available disposables.

The Curetteblade Single Use Surgical Curette Blade is now available at: www.curetteblade.com/merchant.mvc?/. Designed with and operating on the popular Miva Merchant Storefront Development and Management System (www.miva.com), the store is directly integrated with the main Curetteblade website (www.curetteblade.com).

It features an easy-to-use cart and checkout system. Running on a server protected with 128-bit SSL, the Curetteblade Web Store offers credit card purchasers the highest level of security.
