Agntech president Carlos Carvalho said,"We recently gained the approval by the regulatory body to participate in several public biddings for the sale of RevVac and we are confident that both Revolutions Medical and Agntech can achieve success in Brazil because of the positive feedback obtained through our marketing efforts."
Revolutions Medical chief executive officer and chairman Ron Wheet said the opening of the Brazilian market for RevVac safety syringe is a key milestone for the company.
