Infection Control Company Inviro Medical Devices to Attend The 2007 American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) Annual Meeting
Inviro Will Showcase the InviroSNAP!® Safety Syringe, Demonstrating Its Benefits for Ophthalmologists
ATLANTA – November 6, 2007 – Infection control company Inviro Medical Devices announced that it will present its flagship product, the innovative InviroSNAP!® safety syringe, to ophthalmologists at this year’s annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO). This is the first time Inviro will participate in this meeting, which is being held in New Orleans, LA, from November 10 through 13, 2007.
The InviroSNAP! safety syringe offers specific benefits to ophthalmologists. Physicians in this field must be extremely concerned about infection control while working in a very small and delicate space. They require a syringe with a safety mechanism that does not obscure their vision or interfere when a patient is injected with medication. The InviroSNAP! manually retractable safety syringe is designed with an integral safety mechanism and allows ophthalmologists to have total control over the syringe.
“We believe ophthalmologists will find the InviroSNAP! safety syringe an invaluable tool and a great improvement over traditional safety syringes they may use,” said Gareth Clarke, chief executive officer of Inviro Medical Devices. “Our innovative technology allows for precision in administering treatment to the eye and also helps with the critical issues of practitioner safety and infection control. We look forward to attending the AAO meeting and introducing our product line to attending ophthalmologists.”
The American Academy of Ophthalmology is comprised of more than 90 percent of practicing eye M.D.s in the United States and also has over 7,000 international members. For more information about this year’s AAO meeting, please visit http://www.aao.org/meetings/annual_meeting/.
