HENDERSON, NV--(Marketwired - Jan 15, 2015) - United Health Products, Inc. (OTCQB: UEEC) announced that it has initiated introduction of its HemoStrip™ line of hemostatic adhesive bandages to major retailers. HemoStrip™ adhesive bandages utilize United Health Products (UHP) patented HemoStyp® Hemostatic Gauze and are available in a variety of sizes. The addition of a hemostatic pad gives HemoStrip™ an advantage over ordinary adhesive bandages which simply absorb blood. The hemostatic material interacts instantly with blood to significantly reduce clotting times and promote healing.
It is estimated that approximately 70% of US households purchase bandages. The US market consists of 115 million households with estimated annual sales of $3 billion.
UHP is concentrating its initial retail efforts on major pharmacy and grocery chains. Initial presentations of HemoStrip™ have been received positively. Packaging and labeling parameters are being addressed and new packaging sent for approval. UHP is confident that retailer orders can be fulfilled within 30 - 45 days upon receipt of a purchase order.
Douglas Beplate, CEO United Health Products, commented, "This is a very exciting time for our Company and our proprietary products. The initial reaction from retailers has been encouraging and we are quickly moving forward. We are optimistic that HemoStrip™ will play an important role in allowing us to meet our retail projections for 2015 of an estimated 5 million dollars."
