"The completion of our round of seed funding is affirmation of our product line and a solid distribution plan," says Medical Device Group's CEO, Clifford Wright. "We have spent more than six years developing, engineering and patenting a compelling line of products. We have worked closely with health care professionals, ISO 9000 manufacturers, and distributors and have successfully shepherded products through the regulatory FDA process. We now look forward to the final step of producing, distributing and servicing our customers. The respiratory product market is over $5 billion annually and a large amount of that is for disposable, single-patient-use devices, our primary target."
In addition to financing Medical Device Group's day-to-day operations, the capital will allow the manufacturing and distribution of initial products and fund further product development. More than seven other products are in various stages of development by the company.
