Global leader in animal stem cell technology is poised for significant expansion through new partnership with top U.S. companion animal health distribution company. <\/p>\n
Las Vegas, Nevada (PRWEB) February 22, 2012 <\/p>\n
MediVet-America, the global leader in veterinary stem cell technology and regenerative medicine, has entered into a distribution partnership with Butler Schein Animal Health, a division of Henry Schein, the leading companion animal health distribution company in the U.S., to sell and distribute stem cell kits and equipment to veterinarians serving the nation\u2019s fast-growing $50 billion pet industry. <\/p>\n
The announcement was made today at the Western Veterinary Conference in Las Vegas by Jeremy Delk, CEO of MediVet-America. <\/p>\n
The two companies will partner to sell and distribute MediVet-America\u2019s advanced stem cell technology to more than 26,000 veterinary clinics nationwide. Adult animal stem cell technology uses the body\u2019s own regenerative healing power to help treat dogs, cats, horses and other animals suffering from painful arthritis, hip dysplasia and tendon, ligament and cartilage injuries and other ailments. <\/p>\n
The Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Procedure Kit and state of the art equipment, co-developed with Medical Australia, enable veterinarians to remove a small sample of fat, separate the stem cells, then activate and inject them into affected areas. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe are pleased to be teaming up with Butler Schein, the largest companion animal health distribution company in the nation,\u201d said Delk. \u201cTheir strong track record in sales and distribution will further fuel our rapid growth and bring this breakthrough technology to more leading veterinary practices across the country.\u201d <\/p>\n
To introduce the distribution partnership, Delk said MediVet-America has developed an exclusive program of product and service offers that will be made available only to Butler Schein customers. <\/p>\n
Veterinary practitioners in more than 200 markets throughout 42 states now perform the drug-free procedure entirely in their own clinics more quickly, effectively and economically than earlier generation animal stem cell therapy. MediVet-America\u2019s new treatment, developed in Australia, is available in 26 countries worldwide. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis exciting partnership will allow even more of our colleagues unparalleled access to MediVet-America\u2019s superior technology, providing the most affordable and efficacious stem cell therapy in the industry,\u201d said Mike Hutchinson, D.V.M., the world\u2019s leading animal stem cell practitioner. Dr. Hutchinson, who has spoken around the world about stem cell therapy, most recently in Tokyo, has performed more than 300 procedures over the last 18 months in his practice near Pittsburgh, PA. <\/p>\n
Partnering with the leading animal health manufacturers in the world, Butler Schein maintains an order-fill ratio greater than 98 percent, and is positioned to bring the broadest selection of veterinary products and strategic business solutions to veterinarians, including: <\/p>\n
A comprehensive product offering for companion animal, equine and large animal practices including biologicals, diagnostics, nutritionals, parasiticides and pharmaceuticals <\/p>\n
Technology hardware and software solutions Capital equipment, supply products and repair services Practice design and remodeling, client marketing and financial solutions <\/p>\n
Stem cells are basic biological cells with the ability to differentiate into specialized tissue cells and regenerate new cells to replace or repair damaged tissue. The stem cells used in veterinary medicine are not embryonic, which have attracted controversy over the years, but are taken from adipose (fat) tissue of the adult animal. <\/p>\n
Americans spent an estimated $50.8 billion in 2011 on their companion animals, according to the American Pet Products Association, up from $28.5 billion in 2001. MediVet-America\u2019s stem cell treatment costs about $1,800 for small animals, $2,400 for horses. Stem cells also can be frozen and banked for future use through MediVet Lab Services. <\/p>\n
