Keller Funnel Strengthens Position Among Plastic Surgeons
Innovative Delivery Device Featured at Southeastern Society of Plastic Surgery & Reconstructive SurgerySTUART, Fla.--(Healthcare Sales & Marketing Network)-- The Keller Funnel™, an innovative surgical tool manufactured and distributed by Keller Medical, Inc., was profiled at the 27th Annual Breast Surgery Symposium sponsored by Southeastern Society of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery (SESPRS) in Atlanta, Georgia this month. The meeting entitled “Breaking New Ground” attracted more than 400 plastic surgeons wanting to achieve an understanding of the latest trends in breast augmentation.
Plastic surgeon and SESPRS President, James C. Grotting, discussed the Keller Funnel™ in his presentation entitled Early Experience with Funnel Technique for Gel Implant Insertion where he stated that the medical device provided a simple, elegant and better way to insert a silicone implant. Grotting based his findings on observations of 12 patient cases where he was able to employ a no-touch technique, shorten incision lengths and decrease the length of time necessary to complete the surgery.
Launched in September of 2009, the Keller Funnel™ was designed to address the challenges associated with delivering a gel implant through a small surgical incision. South Carolina-based plastic surgeon, Kevin Keller, M.D. created the funnel to make the delivery process easier for surgeons and the outcome gentler for patients. More than 650 U.S. surgeons have adopted the funnel for silicone gel implant procedures. In November, Keller Medical was granted a device license to distribute the Keller Funnel™ in Canada adding to its active international markets which include Japan, Taiwan and Singapore. The company is awaiting its CE Mark and plans to distribute the Funnel in the EU later this year.
Keller Medical, Inc. is a privately held company co-founded by Board Certified plastic surgeon Kevin Keller, M.D. and Howard Preissman, a medical device executive and biomedical engineer. Both U.S. and international patents are pending. For more information about the company or the Keller Funnel™, visit the company’s website at www.kellerfunnel.com or call 772.219.9993.
