Viking Systems has entered into distribution agreements for its new 3DHD visualization system with Biomedica Medizinprodukte GMBH & Co KG (Biomedica) and Vision Medica Argentina SRL (Vision Medica) covering nine countries.

Viking Systems is a worldwide developer, manufacturer and marketer of 2D and 3D visualization solutions for complex minimally invasive surgery.

Under the agreement, Biomedica will distribute the product in Austria, Poland and Czech Republic while Vision Medica will distribute the product in Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.

Viking had previous distribution agreements with both companies related to its earlier generation 3D vision system.

Viking Systems president and CEO Jed Kennedy said that they are pleased to add two more high quality distribution partners for our new product.

“Biomedica and Vision Medica have made strides in introducing 3D vision into their respective markets and both are well connected to key decision makers and have demonstrated their ability to sell medical technology to influential institutions in those markets,” Kennedy said.

The company plans to continue executing its distribution strategy by partnering with independent sales partners who already provide complementary laparoscopic instrumentation to the OR and to whom the 3DHD System will provide differentiation and a distinct competitive advantage over other laparoscopic instrument providers.
