Description of the offer: Central venous catheters are used for medical treatment in a variety of conditions, such as cancer, to administer medication and take samples for testing. Central venous catheters can inadvertently fall out while measures to prevent this can make them even more uncomfortable and restricting to the patient. Catheter fall out also increases the risk of complications, such as infections. This is even more so in child patients and causes concern for their parents and carers as well as for the child themselves. A UK-based SME has developed a medical device that aims to overcome these problems. The device is a vest worn by the patient to accommodate the central venous catheter in a way that holds it securely in a comfortably way that enables maximum freedom of movement for the patient. This enables the patients to lead a more normal life over the duration of their treatment while reducing complications such as infections. The SME is looking to enter new geographical markets with their device and so is looking to partner with a distributor with the experience and connections to enable the SME to achieve this. It is envisaged that the partnership will take the form of a distribution services agreement.
