Skyline Medical Provides Sales Update on the STREAMWAY System

Ten STREAMWAY units sold in 2017; six unit sales booked in January 2018

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Skyline Medical Inc. (NASDAQ:SKLN) (“Skyline” or the “Company”), today announced an update on commercial activities for its FDA-approved STREAMWAY® System for automated, direct-to-drain medical fluid disposal. The Company sold ten STREAMWAY Systems in 2017, five of which were sold in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2017. A further six STREAMWAY units have been booked for sale in January 2018, and will be shipped to customers during the month.

Skyline's revolutionary, FDA-cleared STREAMWAY System is the first true direct-to-drain fluid disposal system designed specifically for medical applications, such as radiology, endoscopy, arthroscopy, urology and cystoscopy procedures. It connects directly to a facility's plumbing system to automate the collection, measurement and disposal of waste fluids. 

“We have entered 2018 with great momentum, having already secured six STREAMWAY unit sales in January. This follows a ramp in commercial activity throughout 2017, which drove ten unit sales throughout the year, five of which took place in the last three months of 2017. Most of the recent demand was generated from Interventional Radiology and Cystoscopy rooms across the U.S. We are very pleased with this progress and will continue to invest in sales and marketing of the STREAMWAY throughout 2018, supported by our recent partnerships with international distributors in five different countries, and by our growing network of potential customers,” stated Dr. Carl Schwartz, CEO of Skyline Medical.

The STREAMWAY minimizes human intervention for better safety and improves compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and other regulatory agency safety guidelines. It also provides unlimited capacity for increased efficiency in the operating room, which leads to greater profitability. Furthermore, the STREAMWAY eliminates canisters to reduce overhead costs and provides greater environmental stewardship by helping to eliminate the approximately 50 million potentially disease-infected canisters that go into landfills annually in the U.S.  For a demonstration please visit www.skylinemedical.com or call 855-785-8855.
