Alpine Biomed Corp. to Present at Medtech Insight's ``Investment In Innovation'' Conference.SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden -- Alpine Biomed has announced that it will be presenting at 11:00 am at Medtech Insight's Prestigious "Investment In Innovation (In3): A Preview of Early-Stage Medical Technology Companies" Conference, taking place June 14-15, 2005 at The Palace Hotel in San Francisco, CA. Alpine's benchmark product line is pH sensing catheters which enable clinicians to monitor for gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD GERD gastroesophageal reflux disease. GERD abbr. gastroesophageal reflux disease GERD ). In 1998, the company established a production facility in Asia giving it a unique cost advantage while maintaining quality control as all products go through final assembly and quality control in the US. In April of 2005 Alpine took over the exclusive US distribution for Medtronic's line of neurodiagnostic products. Through R&D and licensing, Alpine is working to develop several new sensor technologies. These new sensors are expected to be used in a new diagnostic product platform called Wireless Catheters(TM). Because the platform will contain multiple sensors in a wireless format, clinicians will be able to gather several parameters about patient condition from one device, such as pH, pressure, EMG EMG abbr. electromyogram Electromyography (EMG) A diagnostic test that records the electrical activity of muscles. readings, and impedance impedance, in electricity, measure in ohms of the degree to which an electric circuit resists the flow of electric current when a voltage is impressed across its terminals. . This platform will obtain clinical data from real-life environments and increase patient comfort. The new sensor technologies will allow for disposable products Disposable products are items that are not intended by the manufacturer to be reused more than once or a few times as compared to more permanent serviceable and reusable items. Some products that have disposable versions are:
