ROSCOE MEDICAL ENTERS INTO A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH QUINN MEDICAL TO
DISTRIBUTE THE SLEEQ® SPINAL BRACING SYSTEM
STRONGSVILLE, Ohio (March 24, 2014) – Roscoe Medical, manufacturer and distributor of home
medical equipment, today announced a strategic partnership with Quinn Medical, a leader in orthopedic
bracing and therapeutic technologies. Roscoe Medical will become a key distributor to HME dealers of the
SLEEQ® Spinal Bracing System, an advanced line of spinal orthoses (LSO and TLSO) back braces for
the treatment of low back related issues ranging from pain management to post-operative stabilization.
The PDAC-approved, physician-prescribed SLEEQ® Back Brace with its proprietary InvisAdjust™
technology is unique in that it enables a universal fit for nearly all patients with one back brace. With its
advanced mechanical compression, it supports and stabilizes the lumbo-sacral region of the spine
producing a “hydrostatic lift” effect providing relief from disc pressure. Improved patient outcomes and
compliance result as muscle cramps, strain and pain are greatly reduced or eliminated.
"With recent cuts in reimbursement and the uncertainty of Round II, we are extremely excited about
offering the SLEEQ® back brace to our HME and Pain Management Dealers. The reimbursements are
very healthy. It will allow them to strengthen their partnerships with physicians and medical specialists,"
said Ryan Moore, Vice President of the Pain Management Division at Roscoe Medical Inc. “The SLEEQ®
system is easy to use and patient-friendly. It’s a great complement to our portfolio of Pain Management
products and aligns our goal of providing innovative solutions to our HME dealers and their referral
sources.”
With one-size-fits-all, HME dealers always have the right size on hand for their patients’ needs. Inventory
and carrying costs are greatly reduced. With PDAC approval, the SLEEQ® Spinal Bracing System is
reimbursable throughout the course of a patient’s treatment.
"We’re thrilled to enter into this partnership with Roscoe Medical and expand our market presence in the
HME Industry," said Todd Thornton, Founder and President of Quinn Medical. “Treatment of low back
related issues are a growing market, and there is a strong demand for non-pharmacologic approaches
like bracing – more so now that the FDA is limiting the number of pain medication refills. Patients need
alternatives and the SLEEQ® back brace technology helps patients to be treated successfully."
