Reverse Medical has entered into a strategic partnership agreement with Getz Bros & Company for distribution of Reverse Medical devices throughout the Pacific Rim.

Jeffrey Valko, president and chief executive officer of Reverse Medical, said: “We are pleased to have Getz Bros. as our strategic partner and investor. The depth and strength of the Getz network throughout Asia will greatly assist Reverse Medical in developing a leadership role in revascularizing patients experiencing Acute Ischemic Stroke.

“I am honored by Getz recognition of the unique differentiating value from the Reverse Medical technology, and the promise for market leadership worldwide. We are actively developing similar partnerships for European distribution as well.”
