May 29, 2012 – Newbury Park, CA.— ECA Medical Instruments today announced the release to market of the SpeedECAp™ speed handle designfor their Single Procedure and Single Use Orthopaedic Surgical Instrumentation product line in the United States, Canada and Europe.

The SpeedECAp™ instrument is the newest addition to the Cost Responsible-Elegant Solutions disposable instrument product line.  This family of instruments is specifically designed to reduce HAI risk, drastic cost reduction and highly reliable utility and confidence.  SpeedECAp is used for efficiently driving bone screws, set screws and anchor devices in a variety of fixation and fastening procedures while comfortably/ergonomically rotating in the palm of the surgeons’ hand.

“We are extremely excited to add the SpeedECAp™ instrument to the orthopaedic trauma, reconstructive, CMF, neuro markets.  The cost point, reduction in logistics, and elimination of HAI’s risk due to improper reprocessing of traditional reusable instruments, will continue to challenge the delivery of safe, efficacious and complex surgical procedures.” explained Doug Slomski, Vice President Sales and Marketing. “The positive impact of eliminating the cost of un-reimbursable/loaned instrumentation and risk laden reprocessing is a huge savings to the hospital, clinician and OEM.  The disposable / single procedure instrumentation is Cost Responsible for the healthcare system and eliminates costly loaner inventories”

ECA Medical Instruments will feature their entire proprietary product line of Torque Limiting, Speed Handle and Fixed disposable instrumentation at the June13, 14 annual OMTEC exposition booths # 237-336 in Chicago, IL.
