SageTech Medical is proud to announce another key milestone in its mission to revolutionise sustainable anaesthesia. Following the recent news of a signed distribution agreement with Matclinic in Spain and Draeger in Switzerland, SageTech Medical has now signed a distribution agreement with Grodenta in The Netherlands, a renowned distributor specialising in sustainable medical devices across Belgium and The Netherlands from companies such as Medclair, Porter and O-two. This collaboration will continue to enhance SageTech Medical’s ability to expand its footprint within Europe.
The signed agreement marks another important milestone in the European commercialisation of SageTech Medical’s SID-Dock, an innovative Class 1 medical device designed to capture waste anaesthetic gas safely, sustainably and efficiently. The SID-Dock not only addresses growing environmental concerns but also aligns with the healthcare industry’s push towards greener, more sustainable practices and the recent change in EU F-Gas Legislation.
Iain Menneer, SageTech Medical’s CEO, said:
“The agreement comes at a time when healthcare organisations are particularly focused on the environmental impact of medical practices. Anaesthetic gases, while essential for modern medicine, are potent greenhouse gases with a significant carbon footprint. SageTech Medical’s SID-Dock captures these gases, helping healthcare providers reduce emissions and comply with stricter environmental regulations.”
This partnership reinforces SageTech Medical’s strategic focus on international expansion, leveraging Grodenta’s established infrastructure and market expertise to accelerate adoption of the SID-Dock across Belgium and The Netherlands.
Floris De Groot, Managing Director of Grodenta, said:
“Grodenta are actively helping hospitals to overcome their sustainability obstacles. Anaesthesia with volatile anaesthetics maintain a vital role in an anaesthetist’s toolbox and SageTech Medical’s technology reduces the pollution from this practice with a sustainable and circular economy solution”.
SageTech Medical’s innovative gas capture and recycling solution significantly reduces the environmental pollution form these clinically essential anaesthetic gases and through its proprietary circular economy technology platform, also reduces the pollution from virgin anaesthetic agent manufacture.
About SageTech Medical
