BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Rampart IC, a Birmingham-based medical device company specializing in radiation shielding and orthopedic protection, has signed five distribution agreements that expand their distribution throughout the Middle East, Asia, Europe and North America.
Medpoint Technologies Ltd, headquartered in Israel, will distribute Rampart IC throughout Israel and Palestine. PrismTech, headquartered in Hong Kong, will handle distribution in Hong Kong. Heart Beat Medical Supplies, headquartered in Dubai, will distribute throughout the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Egypt. Oryx Medical, headquartered in Toronto, will distribute within Canada.
Rampart IC has existing distribution agreements in place with med tech distributors serving medical facilities throughout Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and Japan. Rampart manages direct sales within the United States.
The Rampart M1128 is a device developed for interventional cardiologists (ICs), but has found its way into several interventional specialties. Interventionalists and their teams spend extended time in catheterization labs and, therefore, rank as the occupation with the highest level of radiation exposure in the world1. ICs often face debilitating injuries resulting from 20-30 pound lead aprons traditionally worn to reduce radiation exposure2, with nearly half reporting some form of orthopedic injury3.
The Rampart IC system is in use with American healthcare systems including Ascension, Sutter Health and Northwell. The technology has been adopted by prestigious medical institutions like Emory University Healthcare System and UAB Medicine.
"Rampart's global mission is to protect as many interventional teams as possible," said Tom Livingston, Rampart IC Chief Executive Officer. "This year we have expanded our partnerships with several companies, all renowned in their home countries for sourcing and providing the best medical equipment to practitioners. We are proud to come alongside them and make Rampart IC more widely available, facilitating quality care for patients while protecting the health and safety of interventionalists."

"We at PrismTech are excited to offer our interventional customers in Hong Kong this game changing and value-added solution," said Raymon Chan, Director, Strategic Business of PrismTech.
