ACCESS MEDIQUIP LAUNCHES NEW BRAND TO REFLECT COMPANY'S LEADERSHIP AND INNOVATION IN HEALTHCARE

HOUSTON - March 10, 2009 -- Access MediQuip, LLC, the nation's first and largest provider of outsourced medical implantable device management solutions to the healthcare industry, unveiled a new brand today. 'Medical Device Solutions Powered by Experience' is designed to better exemplify the company's industry leadership, experience and innovation.

Founded in 1997 after identifying a need to support the healthcare industry with procuring high-cost implantable devices such as orthopedic and spinal implants, Access MediQuip has grown to become the nation's leading provider of these services. Over the past two years, the company has doubled its sales and achieved revenue growth of more than 40 percent since partnering with Water Street Healthcare Partners, a leading private equity firm focused exclusively on healthcare. It has expanded its services to 175 device manufacturers, and 2,500 healthcare payers and providers to help them manage implantable devices used for hundreds of thousands of life-enhancing and life-saving procedures.

"It has been incredibly exciting to be part of building Access MediQuip from an idea into a leading company that is truly making a difference in the healthcare industry," said Access MediQuip President and COO Bill Elliott. "We will always be known as the company that created the first solution that helped the healthcare industry with reducing the financial risk associated with procuring implantable medical devices. It is our commitment to continuing to develop new and enhanced medical device solutions that has accelerated our growth and ability to attract blue-chip customers on a national scale. Our new brand embodies what our customers have told us they value most -- our unmatched experience, innovation and outstanding service." About Access MediQuip
