Freehold, NJ - (NewMediaWire) - March 07, 2019 - MEDIFIRST SOLUTIONS, INC. (OTC: MFST) (the “Company” or “Medifirst”), a provider of innovative laser technology with its FDA 510(k) cleared Infrared Time Machine TTML-8102000 Laser Thermal Therapeutic Device and a provider of Specialty Pharmacy Drug Consulting Services and Distributor of Dr. Gupta Pharma and USA Pharma CBD, is pleased to announce a company update for each division. Medical DevicesDistributionAs previously announced, Medifirst has been working with Antah HealthCare Group to introduce and test the FDA cleared therapeutic Time Machine Infrared Laser as a drug-free and all natural treatment for pain and inflammation. Antah HealthCare Group is one of the largest Malaysian owned healthcare marketing and distribution companies in Malaysia. Commented Medifirst President, Bruce J. Schoengood, “We are very pleased to announce that after successfully testing and purchasing the Time Machine Laser, Antah has agreed to become a distributor for Medifirst. A definitive agreement is being negotiated and formalized.”Regarding further international distribution, Medifirst is pleased to announce it is in the final stages of negotiation with a medical distribution company for distribution rights for its Infrared Laser for Latin America. Recent market research forecast strong growth in Latin America’s healthcare market, particularly when it comes to medical equipment and device sales. Brazil and Mexico and smaller markets like Chile, Peru, Guatemala and Costa Rica should become increasingly important players as well. Additionally, one of the major trends projected is a growing customer base for private medical services. Industry reports show that the middle class is complementing their public health coverage with a private option, so much so in fact that Latin America’s health insurance companies have the most rapid level of growth in the world, with 30% growth each year projected through 2025. Commented Schoengood, “Considering its ease-of-use and affordability, we believe that our FDA cleared laser is a perfect fit for this growing market and we are excited to be introducing our laser to offer a new solution for people suffering from chronic and acute pain.”Distribution AffiliatesIn further expanding the laser distribution, Medifirst has entered final negotiations with an affiliate healthcare company that has cutting edge healthcare products that presents a natural synergy with the Medifirst laser devices. The potential agreement would be part of a strategy to leverage each company’s distribution and marketing network to the benefit of each company. Stated Schoengood, “This opportunity allows both companies to expand their product lines and therefore expand their brands and products, and increase market awareness with the goal to create additional revenue streams.”Although no assurance of a final agreement for these distribution deals can be made now, Medifirst is very pleased with the progress made, and anticipates further updates for both distribution agreements in the upcoming days or weeks.TMJ and Physical TherapyMedifirst has identified both Oral Surgeons/TMJ and Physical Therapy as two sectors to target in which, we believe the Time Machine Infrared Laser can be most effective. TMJ (temporomandibular joint and muscle) disorder is a medical condition which causes dysfunction and pain in the jaw joint and the muscles that control jaw movement. Some of the major symptoms of this disorder are aching facial pain, tenderness or pain in jaws, pain while chewing, etc. After 1 to 3 treatments, many patients have seen very positive effects in reducing pain and inflammation for this condition. The U.S. outpatient rehabilitation/physical therapy market is estimated to be a $30 billion industry with a projected annual growth rate of five percent or higher. Given the aging and active U.S. population, the demographics favor a sustained growth in patients seeking or requiring rehabilitation services. Also, increasing numbers of Americans who engage in fitness regimens, ...
