Skyline Medical Inc.
SKLN today issued the following letter to
shareholders:
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Skyline Medical has never been in a stronger position for long-term success.
Given recent commercial accomplishments, as well as the enhanced capital
position of the company and our NASDAQ listing, we want to take this
opportunity to highlight our plans to drive future growth.
Thus far in 2015, with limited sales personnel, we have signed numerous
agreements with major hospitals. In total, there are 90 STREAMWAY(R) Systems
installed in 45 hospitals and surgery centers in 19 states across the U.S.,
including the recent addition of several larger hospitals, teaching
hospitals and surgical centers, such as Duke University Health System, Beth
Israel Deaconess Medical Center (a Harvard Medical School Affiliate),
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical
Center and Oscar G. Johnson VA Medical Center. We believe the early adoption
of our product by such esteemed institutions further highlights our product
as the best for its application.
We believe there continues to be a significant opportunity for our product
to be adopted by new and existing hospitals across their operating rooms.
Currently, there are more than 40,000 operating rooms in the U.S., in which
over 80 million procedures are performed each year.
With a trial-to-sale conversion rate of 98%, the STREAMWAY System has
validated itself in the market. We strengthened our balance sheet in August
with the successful completion of a capital raise concurrently listing on
the NASDAQ. This new injection of cash, combined with a business model that
generates recurring revenues from ancillary products used with each unit
deployed has greatly strengthened our ability to support the implementation
of our growth strategy.
In order to further penetrate the market, we are in the process of
implementing an aggressive sales and marketing strategy for our STREAMWAY
Systems, including the establishment of a dedicated salesforce throughout
the U.S. We are looking to broaden market awareness of our product by
selling to existing customers, new customers, new construction, GPOs, large
surgery center chains and federal government contracts. We are also pursuing
the regulatory pathway and distribution strategy intended to lead to global
expansion.
As an innovative product, the STREAMWAY System offers significant safety,
economic and environmental benefits to our customers. The STREAMWAY is the
only product in the market that offers continuous suction and flow with the
ability to measure fluid waste, offering significant advantages to hospital
staff. The innovative, direct-to-drain design offers a broad array of
benefits, including eliminating staff exposure to harmful fluids, reducing
costs for the hospital, and simplifying the entire fluid waste disposal
process. There is no other product in the market with this functionality,
and as such, we believe that our product will revolutionize the way that
hospitals and medical centers dispose of hazardous waste.
Investments are also being made in Research and Development to create
enhancements for existing products, as well as the possible creation of new
and complementary products to grow our revenue.
We are proud of our achievements in 2015 and excited about the long-term
potential for the business. We have a state-of-the-art offering for a
growing segment of the surgical equipment market and believe there are
significant growth opportunities ahead. We thank you for your investment and
continued support during this period and look forward to keeping all of our
shareholders apprised of our continued progress.
