Historical Stock Chart
From Dec 2019 to Dec 2024
Longport, Inc. (OTC PK:LPTI), a medical technology specialist in high
frequency high resolution ultrasound imaging, today announced the sale
of thirteen (13) EPISCAN units to a commercial operator of senior care
facilities. These EPISCAN units are going to be used for the early
detection, documentation, and prevention of pressure ulcers in the group’s
skilled nursing facilities.
Longport has been conducting a study with the purchasing group for the
last two years, and the impressive results have led them to make this
purchase. The study was conducted in three Montana nursing homes. The
principal investigator of this study, Dr. Karen Zulkowski, explored the
use of Longport’s EPISCAN I-200 for improved
clinical detection of pressure ulcer risk and development. Dr. Zulkowski
is a professor of nursing at Montana State University-Bozeman.
Provisional results from the study were presented at the 2007 Symposium
on Advanced Wound Care and at a workshop held as part of the Advances in
Skin and Wound Care Conference in October 2007.
Dr. Zulkowski said “Study results demonstrated
that 90% of people come into a nursing home with deep tissue skin
changes at their heels and 60% have deep tissue changes at their sacrum.
The EPISCAN I-200 shows these changes even before they are visible at
the skin surface. This technology will allow the facilities to begin
care planning earlier and increase quality of care for their residents.
I hope all levels of care including acute care and rehabilitation
facilities will also adopt the technology so that risk assessment is
comprehensive and prevention is started earlier and is individualized to
meet each patient’s needs.”
The EPISCAN will be used as part of the facilities’
admission process and for regular ongoing skin assessment protocols.
Installation of the units is expected to commence in approximately one
month.
Paul Wilson, President of Longport, Inc. said “We
are pleased to report the order is a direct result of the positive
feedback received from the study sites where the EPISCAN has been in use
for the last two years. With this sale, Longport has sold a total of
twenty (20) units so far this year. The first quarter of 2008 has been
extremely promising and we are confident that sales will continue to
grow as the year progresses.”
