Haag-Streit UK appointed sole distributor of the Optovue, Inc. portfolio in the UK
Harlow, Essex (PRWEB UK) 26 January 2015 -- Haag-Streit UK (HS-UK), the leading manufacturer and distributor of gold-standard optometry and ophthalmic equipment, is pleased to announce that it will be appointed sole distributor of the Optovue, Inc. product portfolio in the UK from 4th February 2015.
Optovue, Inc, has a reputation for pushing the frontiers of innovation and ophthalmic medical diagnostic imaging with its Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) product portfolio, which includes the: Angiovue OCT Angiography system, iVue, iFusion, iScan and XR Avanti OCT products.
HS-UK will be taking over the UK distribution from Watford-based Grafton Optical, Optovue, Inc distributors since January 2007.
Bill Shields, Vice President International Sales, Optovue, Inc, commented, “On behalf of Optovue, I would like to thank Grafton Optical for its hard work in introducing the Optovue OCT portfolio to the UK and successfully representing and supporting the brand so professionally for 8 years. The move of distributorship is a strategic one, as we feel that our current range of OCT products perfectly complements HS-UK’s existing portfolio of gold-standard optometry and ophthalmic equipment.”
HS-UK will officially launch the Optovue iFusion and the new iScan at February’s 100% Optical event in London. The revolutionary new Angiovue OCTA system and XR Avanti will be showcased during May’s RCO meeting in Liverpool.
Dean Johnson, HS-UK Managing Director, said, “We are extremely proud to be the new UK agents for Optovue. The unprecedented growth of the spectral domain OCT market in recent years, combined with the rapid advancements in OCT technology and image management software makes the Optovue product range an exciting addition to the HS-UK portfolio. Optovue, Inc has recognised that HS-UK has the specialist knowledge and technical expertise to further grow Optovue market penetration.”
