Inviro Medical Sponsors Texas Infection Control Meeting

Atlanta, Georgia – May 15, 2006 – Inviro Medical, located in Duluth, Georgia, was a sponsor of the 29th Annual Texas Society of Infection Control Practitioners Conference on April 6-7, 2006. The goal of the conference was to bring together experts from around the state to discuss issues related to infection control and preview new technologies dedicated to improving patient care in healthcare organizations. The conference was hosted by the Texas Society of Infection Control Practitioners (TSICP), an organization dedicated to providing affordable education opportunities to enhance individual or team efforts toward infection prevention. 

During the two-day conference, Inviro Medical conducted a number of demonstrations of its new product, InviroSNAP! Safety Syringe and received very positive feedback from the attendees. While TSICP does not officially endorse a specific product or product line, Inviro Medical was recently endorsed by HealthShare/THA and  Oklahoma Hospital Association (OHA) Preferred Savings Network and is the only medical device company to receive this specific safety injection system endorsement.
