What is HealthTronics overall strategy?
In terms of our overall strategy — our core strength is helping urologists converge around new technologies and services that improve patient care and practice economics. We are particularly adept when there are three criteria present: • A need for large capital investment; • High levels of patient throughput; and, • Ongoing complexity within the regulatory environment. A combination of these criteria supports the urologist having a partner like HealthTronics and it is these type scenarios where we seek to identify and establish a partnership. We believe that our partners are increasingly viewing us as a valuable partner in a context far broader in scope than just lithotripsy or BPH treatments. They understand that HealthTronics takes seriously its mission to bring its partners new technologies and services that improve patient care as well as their practice economics. At HealthTronics, we understand that our future rests on our ability to fulfill our mission.
