MIAMI, Jan. 7, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Stock Market Alert's watch list includes: Southwestern Medical Solutions Inc (Pink Sheets:SWNM), Microsoft Corporation (Nasdaq:MSFT), Aastrom Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:ASTM) and Oracle Corporation (Nasdaq:ORCL).
Southwestern Medical Solutions, Inc. (Pink Sheets:SWNM) recently issued a press release that may get investor's attention. The company announced that it is currently evaluating various product lines aimed at fulfilling the needs of huge and growing healthcare market sectors. The company's stock closed yesterday at nineteen cents a share.
The press release stated population growth and an aging population base means larger markets and critical needs for advances in products in a number of the areas being evaluated by Southwestern Medical Solutions, Inc. Products under consideration at this time are hydrotherapy products such as easy access showers and tubs helping those who are not in need of fully assisted living to retain, or even regain, their independence.
"The market for these products is enormous," commented Southwestern Medical Solutions Vice President of New Product Development, Richard Powell. "We are in communication with two such companies and evaluating our manufacturing options to enter this product area."
Southwestern Medical Solutions has already begun discussions with a major builder in the U.S. of nationally recognized hotels and guest suites-type facilities to incorporate these units into their chains. The increase in Assisted Living Facilities that offer a more independent lifestyle -- unlike the traditional nursing home -- is also the perfect candidate for these products, in addition to the huge private sector.
Southwestern Medical Has The Solution -- The Company's proprietary Labguard system for on-site collection & diagnostic testing technology represents a revolutionary approach that ensures greater safety and convenience for diagnostic testing administrators at an attractive, market-competitive price. Currently in the final prototype stage, the Labguard system has already attracted expressions of strong interest from several major medical-device distribution companies, both in the U.S. and abroad. Numerous applications of the Labguard system to address specific market needs, such as non-invasive drug screening, HIV testing, etc. are currently in the design, prototype and/or testing stages.
