RE:RE:Covalon products on Medline website Dont forget that Covalon recently has signed distribution agreements and commenced sales of its line of infection control and wound care products into nine countries in Latin America, including Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama and Puerto Rico.
Covalon expects to have its products cleared in Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Paraguay and Uruguay by the end of 2016 and in Brazil is expected in 2017.
This is not an insignificant market .
There are over 600 million people in Latin America and significantly higher rates of hospital-acquired infections as compared with the United States.
