About Sphere Medical (AIM: SPHR.L)
Sphere Medical is a medical device company developing and commercialising a range of innovative monitoring and diagnostic devices designed to significantly improve patient care.
Sphere Medical's vision is to become a leading solution provider to the critical care market offering innovative, near real time, point of care diagnostic and monitoring products to enable closer control of therapeutic response and improve patient outcomes and reduce the overall cost of care.
The Company's strategy is focused on developing the Proxima (CE marked device) platform for measuring blood gases, electrolytes and metabolites. The Company is already marketing its Proxima product directly to the critical care market, which includes the ICU and OR, with a dedicated field sales force in the UK. Sphere has plans to follow in Germany and Benelux via a direct sales force in Europe and proposes to work with partners for worldwide distribution.
Proxima delivers near real time analysis of blood gases and electrolytes metabolites, at the patient's bedside. Proxima can be used on patients across a wide therapeutic range, enabling faster clinical decision making and improved patient outcomes, whilst potentially reducing costs for healthcare payers.
Sphere Medical entered into a collaboration agreement with Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc. in 2013 for the development of Proxima and enhancement of Sphere's operational and production capabilities.
Sphere Medical has a number of partnerships with industry leading medical device companies and has received a strategic investment from Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics (now part of Carlyle Group).
