Senzime expands into the French market driven by new clinical Guidelines
Press release: Uppsala, October 29, 2020. Senzime AB (publ) today announces that the company has entered into an exclusive agreement with The Surgical Company (formerly Sebac) for the French market, and the first order to a university hospital in France is ready to be delivered. Market entry is driven by the new clinical guidelines in France supporting the use of Senzime’s products in surgery.
“France is one of the world's most important medical technology markets and thus an extremely important market in our commercial plan. The Surgical Company is a leader in the French Anesthesia market, and we are proud that they have chosen to include our products in their portfolio,” says Pia Renaudin, Senzime’s CEO.
The Surgical Company (Sebac) was founded in 1974 and has for almost 50 years launched revolutionary product in the field of anesthesia where they have gained great know-how and a wide network of contacts. TSC has over 3,500 customers in France and focus on innovative products with great patient needs in the Anesthesia area. Senzime already has orders that are ready to be delivered, as the interest from French anesthesiologists has been great after the company’s participation in the national anesthesia meeting in Paris last year.
In 2020, the French Anesthesia Association has updated its guidelines for monitoring neuromuscular blockade. The reason for the update, according to the authors, is the extensive research that shows a high frequency of residual neuromuscular blockade with a risk of critical complications and increased mortality as a result, while it is seen that the use of an objective monitor helps to counteract this. The recommendation states that an objective monitor should be used in connection with all administration of muscle relaxants.
