Westbury, NY / ACCESSWIRE via iHub Newswire / June 17, 2014 / United Health Products, Inc. (OTCQB: UEEC) announced that it has entered in principle to a multi-year distribution Agreement for its patented HemoStyp(r) gauze products with AMD-Ritmed. AMD-Ritmed is a privately owned leading provider of healthcare supplies serving the US and Canada.
- AMD-Ritmed will utilize its extensive distribution network and existing customer base to showcase the superior line of HemoStyp(r) gauze products.
- The Agreement grants AMD-Ritmed the exclusive rights to distribute United Health Products’ HemoStyp(r) product line in Canada and exclusive rights to distribute in certain markets within the US.
- Among its customers are several of the largest operators of dialysis clinics in North America, large hospitals and IDN’s, first aid companies, sterile kit manufacturers, and regional and national medical distribution companies.
Scott Woolford, AMD-Ritmed Vice President of US Sales, stated, “The HemoStyp(r) line of products has the advantage of being both unique and price competitive, and I am confident that many of our hospitals and healthcare customers, as well as other potential customers in the products lines’ vast market, will quickly recognize the superior performance. I have already seen significant interest from several of our major distribution partners.”

Benefits of HemoStyp(r)
- HemoStyp(r) is an all-natural product comprised of regenerated oxidized cellulose gauze which is specifically formulated to speed the process of hemostasis (clotting) when positioned on a cut or wound.
- Unlike the other products in the wound care market, HemoStyp(r) contains no potentially harmful chemicals or animal byproducts and is hypoallergenic.
- Once it has completed its task, it is easily removed by dissolving it in water or saline solution. This method of removal neither disturbs the clotted surface nor encourages re-bleeding, which is a significant problem with traditional gauze products.
