Skyline Medical’s STREAMWAY System Now Available to U.S. Federal Government Facilities through MUNRO Enterprises LLC

MINNEAPOLIS, June 10, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Skyline Medical Inc. (NASDAQ:SKLN) (“Skyline” or “the Company”), producer of the FDA-approved STREAMWAY® System for automated, direct-to-drain medical fluid disposal, announces the signing of a reseller agreement granting MUNRO Enterprises LLC certain exclusive rights to market and distribute the STREAMWAY® System to the U.S. federal government including U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Health and Human Services facilities, among others.  MUNRO Enterprises is an Economically-Disadvantaged, Woman-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB).

“This new partnership allows us to leverage MUNRO’s special consideration to accelerate sales of the STREAMWAY System to the federal government,” said Dave Johnson, chief operating officer of Skyline Medical. “The leadership of MUNRO Enterprises has more than 20 years of experience helping companies to navigate the myriad of regulations associated with government purchasing offices across the country and in U.S. territories. In addition, the introduction of STREAMWAY Systems into facilities such as VA Hospitals offers healthcare practitioners a safer method for disposing of waste fluids collected from medical procedures. We look forward to working closely with MUNRO Enterprises and spreading awareness of our state-of-the-art method for medical fluid disposal to an important new customer.”

“The STREAMWAY System offers compelling benefits to healthcare professionals, patients and facilities alike, and we are delighted to be engaged to help Skyline Medical access the federal market,” said Julia Munro, president and chief executive officer of MUNRO Enterprises.  “The FDA-approved STREAMWAY System improves patient and staff safety, lowers total costs, reduces medical waste and supports compliance with Veterans Health Administration Directives for medical waste management. STREAMWAY can help hospitals minimize waste handling and save money, two areas that are receiving so much scrutiny by the federal government.​ We expect that this will be a very successful collaboration, and we applaud Skyline for its progressive and proactive approach in providing us with this opportunity,” Ms. Munro added.

About the STREAMWAY System
Skyline Medical's revolutionary, FDA-cleared STREAMWAY System is the first true direct-to-drain fluid disposal system designed specifically for medical applications, such as radiology, endoscopy, urology and cystoscopy procedures. It connects directly to a facility's plumbing system to automate the collection, measurement and disposal of waste fluids, and minimizes human intervention for better safety while improving compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) and other regulatory agency safety guidelines. It also provides unlimited capacity for increased efficiency in the operating room, which leads to greater profitability. The STREAMWAY eliminates canisters to reduce overhead costs and provides greater environmental stewardship by helping to eliminate the approximately 50 million potentially disease-infected canisters that go into landfills annually in the U.S.

About Skyline Medical Inc.
Skyline Medical Inc. produces a fully automated, patented, FDA-cleared, waste fluid disposal system that virtually eliminates staff exposure to blood, irrigation fluid and other potentially infectious fluids found in the healthcare environment. Antiquated manual fluid handling methods — which require hand carrying and emptying filled fluid canisters — present an exposure risk and potential liability. Skyline Medical's STREAMWAY System fully automates the collection, measurement and disposal of waste fluids and is designed to: 1) reduce overhead costs to hospitals and surgical centers, 2) improve compliance with OSHA and other regulatory agency safety guidelines, 3) improve efficiency in the operating room, and radiology and endoscopy departments — leading to greater profitability, and 4) provide greater environmental stewardship by helping to eliminate the approximately 50 million potentially disease-infected canisters that go into landfills annually in the United States.
