ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Florida Funders, a firm providing early-stage capital to Florida technology companies, announces a $1.35 million dollar investment in RepScrubs, a Sanford, Florida-based vendor management solution for modern medical facilities. RepScrubs provides a dispensing system that distributes proprietary, time sensitive disposable scrubs for medical device representatives inside of hospitals to help improve the environment of care for patients in hospitals across the country. RepScrubs, the first and only in the industry, has grown to over 100 installations nationwide while reducing the cost to medical facilities, providing an unprecedented vendor management solution and preventing the transfer of infections due to contaminated apparel.
"We're excited to support a project that unlike anything else in the market reduces the liability and infection risk for healthcare professionals and their patients," said Tom Wallace, Managing Partner for Florida Funders. "Recent studies have revealed that scrubs transport dangerous, oftentimes deadly, bacteria and we believe that RepScrubs has incredible potential to change that."
Recognized as the only nationally-standardized vendor-attire platform, RepScrubs are a sealed package of a shirt, pants, two red bouffant caps and a pair of shoe covers. Manufactured from polypropylene, a plastic that can be recycled by municipal, on-site and third-party-recyclers – RepScrubs fits into your hospital existing green initiative policies to help cut waste and environmental effects. A RepScrubs logo is printed in white on both the pants and the shirt for easy recognition while a time-sensitive badge is printed at the ScrubPort, including information on the medical professional for patient safety, and a chemical reaction occurs that begins a linear migration of ink that bleeds from the back to the front of the badge when the RepScrub needs to be replaced for a clean, unused set.
"We have already reached great success with RepScrubs, but the support of Florida Funders allows us to broaden our reach to more medical systems," said Jeff Feuer, President and Chief Executive Officer for RepScrubs. "With three patents for our design and utility, we believe that RepScrubs has the potential to change the healthcare market by providing cost-effective management platforms which control and document vendor access to restricted patient care areas while ensuring adherence to safety protocols. RepScrubs is available to hospitals at no additional cost, generating immediate supply savings, while reducing liability and infection risk."
Included in Florida Funders' $1.35 million-dollar investment in RepScrubs is a $200k contribution from FAN Fund out of Orlando. With over 100 systems nationwide, RepScrubs will utilize the funding from Florida Funders to further expand the sales footprint across the country along with several R&D programs.
