Stille AB (publ) announces the signing of an exclusive global distribution agreement with American medtech company Pathy Medical giving Stille the rights to distribute the patented product Light Jacket\u00ae \u00a0starting in 2021.<\/strong><\/div>\n

One of the most common risks during and after surgery are hemorrhages, which are sometimes caused by poor visualization in the surgical site. Light Jacket\u00ae solves this problem by offering an additional bright light source continuously directed at the surgical site without disrupting the focus of the surgeon. The Light Jacket\u00ae is a simple yet smart disposable product that fits directly onto the electrocautery pencil that the surgeon uses to coagulate, cut or dissect biological tissue, allowing for continuous illumination directed at the surgical site or operating cavity.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very pleased to announce this distribution agreement, which is well-aligned with Stille\u2019s commitment to deliver innovative premium products towards our strategic focus including the plastic and cardiovascular surgical disciplines. Light Jacket\u00ae is a brilliant innovation that simplifies the workday for surgeons while reducing the risk of additional complications for patients,\u201d says Stille CEO, Hanna Ernestam Wilkman, and continues, \u201cdespite the pandemic, Stille\u2019s Surgical Instruments business line has grown in the US during 2020 and we see great potential synergies with the Light Jacket\u00ae complementing our product portfolio to continue on that growth journey.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, I have often struggled with proper visualization across a spectrum of procedures throughout my career,\u201d states Pathy Medical Founder and CEO, Vinod V. Pathy, MD, FACS. \u201cDrawing from personal experience as well as that of my colleagues across other surgical disciplines, my team and I sought to create an intuitive solution that provides value and utility by illuminating the dissection site precisely when and where the surgeon requires it. The simplicity of the Light Jacket\u00ae is the result of years of research and development. Having used Stille\u2019s line of instruments in the operating room, I am keenly aware of their dedication to quality. We are excited to collaborate with Stille to bring our first of a number of products into operating rooms worldwide so as to benefit surgeons and their patients.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pathy Medical\u00ae produces high quality disposable illumination devices with the strategic goal of achieving greater surgical visualization, lower cost, and easier to use alternatives to traditional forms of surgical illumination. By focusing on products which are simple yet modern, Pathy Medical\u00ae aims to change the mindset and improve the effectiveness of the surgeon and facility, while continuously striving to improve patient outcomes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Stille will start to distribute Light Jacket\u00ae in the US in early 2021 and thereafter gradually roll the product out onto the European market before continuing to the rest of the world.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
