Valisafe sales team in Brazil

We were very pleased to attend this years Hospitalar in Sao Paolo through Strattner, the Valisafe dealer. There were 100,000 visitors over 4 days and the stand was very busy. Steffani and Daniel have joined recently as Valisafe sales reps and come with a wealth of experience and knowledge about decontamination. We have planned education seminars and publications for Sao Paolo and other main cities throughout Brazil. We wish them lots of success and welcome them to the Valisafe family
International Dental Show, Cologne

Valisafe recently attended and exhibited its comprehensive dental portfolio at the International Dental Show in Cologne. With awareness continuing to increase, it is now more important than ever to ensure that the entire decontamination process within a dental practice is both efficient and effective.
As a reasonably new company, we are becoming widely known due to our comprehensive product range. The Valisafe portfolio once again was the talk of the exhibition and received a lot of attention. Whilst Protein residue and cleaning efficacy testing are relatively new concepts to many dental markets, they were readily acknowledged as being pivotal to the routine proof of effective cleaning.
Meanwhile our new encapsulated EN 867-5 Helix device or “doughnut” received extremely positive reviews. Valisafe in addition also launched our new, easy to use, easy to record, Class 6 Self Adhesive Indicators.
Dealer meeting and Seminar in Zagreb

On September the 20th Valisafe held our first Eastern European Dealer meeting in Zagreb Croatia. We were very pleased to have representation from 8 countries for what was a very informative and productive session. Peter Newson and Cindy Graham went through the full current portfolio answering a full range of questions from technical specifications through to market competitors and positioning. Valisafe took this opportunity to discuss the plethora of new products we will be introducing over the next few months. These we believe will enhance our burgeoning reputation for innovative solutions to the monitoring of the entire decontamination process. The event was concluded with an excellent meal at a traditional Croatian venue.
One Day Seminar – Zagreb
Hygiea D.O.O and Valisafe arranged an educational seminar at the Dubrovnik Hotel in Zagreb. We were delighted to have around 50 participants attending Cindy and Peter covered the following subjects

The presentations were very well received and lead to lively debates on a number of topics. A mention must be made of Vlatka Turcic whose wealth of knowledge and local expertise contributed significantly to the success of the event. It was agreed that these events provide a great opportunity for CSSD managers to share their own experiences, concerns and issues.

Valisafe Launches in Latin America
Valisafe are extremely pleased to announce our regional launch into the Latin American market at the recent SOBECC / WFHSS combined conference. We were fortunate to have a very willing and capable local partner in H Strattner with whom we held our first South American Dealer meeting. This was well attended with representatives from Mexico, Chile, Peru, Argentina, Costa Rica and of course Brazil. Successful negotiations have lead to the appointment of 6 new dealers throughout the region while Katy Howliston ( who is based in Buenos Aires ) will maintain day to day contact with our dealer network full technical and logistical support will be offered through our UK offices.

During the conference and exhibition itself Valisafe was highly visible on the Strattner stand. With a total number of 2600 delegates and numerous international partners our display was very well attended and , significantly, a large number of leads were received from delegates throughout South America. As a consequence of SOBECC and our partners in Brazil providing space on their stand, Valisafe has been able to establish a very strong platform from where to grow the business throughout Latin America and we look forward to becoming a leader in our field in the region.

| Valisafe at the Dentistry Show 2010 |

Valisafe's "expert knowledge team" were in high demand at the Dental show in Birmingham last week. The attendance was phenomenal, which has again underlined that HTM 01-05 is here to stay. Our educational forum was centered around the implementation of HTM 01/ 05 requirements and best practice monitoring of the decontamination process. Simplicity of use was paramount to those visiting the stand and in that respect our ProTEST Q protein test was in great demand and a clear winner; followed closely by our EN 867-5 helix device, our Process Indicator Pen and our Class 6 indicators. |
