Midwest Applied Technologies LLC Receives Support from CCAT for “Site Saver®” Vascular Access Device
February 11, 2011
Midwest Applied Technologies has been awarded a market study from the Center for Commercialization of Advanced Technology (CCAT), San Bernardino. The market study will help to identify different market segments to support the integration of its patented vascular access stabilization device into the areas of IV therapy including health facilities, first responders and war fighters to help reduce the number of IV failures and associated costs involved.
CCAT is funded by the United States Navy to help innovative emerging technology companies transition their products into military and commercial markets.
“We hope the market study will reveal the true potential for what we think is a promising medical device”, said Dr. Timothy Gerrity, Director of the Alliance for Commercialization of Technology, the organization that oversees CCAT.
“CCAT's support for the integration of the Site Saver® technology into commercial healthcare will help to define a new standard of care for individuals needing IV therapy while reducing healthcare costs long-term. In addition to the work being completed with CCAT and continued sales efforts, we are currently in early discussions with two companies interested in licensing the Site Saver® technology and will be appearing at two nursing conferences in Canada in the weeks ahead in support of those discussions.” says Bob Heitkamp, President of Midwest Applied Technologies LLC.

Hello everyone, we hope you all and all of your loved ones had a very Merry Christmas and have a great New Year. By the sounds of the copied email below, actually winning an Edison Award may be a lofty expectation, but, as you can see they are pleased with the product and we are officially in the running.
For those of you I have not been in touch with lately, that's because we have been busy prepping for a final presentation for a military contract and I will be in California Jan 13th to hopefully close the deal, and also prepping for two nursing shows in Canada(yes I have my passport), as we are working towards a licensing agreement with a company in Canada.
Again here's wishing everyone an exceptionally happy (and safe) New Year, from all of us...Brayden, Sasia, Barb and myself.
Thanks, Bob Heitkamp
