Dehaier Medical Systems has signed a distribution agreement with Shanghai Haopu Medical Instruments to become a regional distributor of eVent Medical's inspiration ventilator in the Chinese market.

The tie up allows Dehaier to sell eVent’s inspiration ventilators to hospitals, clinics and medical facilities through its direct sales force and nationwide network of over 2,000 dealers and distributors.

Dehaier CEO Ping Chen said continued expansion of their portfolio of agent products is a key growth engine for our medical device business and the addition of new, high-quality products such as the eVent ventilator allows us to address new segments of the market, while creating potential inroads for their branded medical devices and homecare products.

"We believe Shanghai Haopu’s choice of Dehaier is further evidence of our strong industry reputation and our efficient sales distribution network," Chen said.
