Friday 14th of January, 2011: Uscom (ASX code: UCM).

Uscom Ltd today announced the appointment of US medical device distributor Provider Enterprises, based in Nashville Tennessee, thereby doubling its coverage of US hospital beds through its new distribution channel from 23% to 56%.

Provider Enterprises services approximately 33% of all hospital beds in the US. This appointment is in addition to the recent appointment of Medical Dynamics, a California based distributor covering approximately 23% of the US Hospital market. Both Provider Enterprises and Medical Dynamics are growing strongly and have a track record of building brands and sales for their partners. They are committed to undertaking strong marketing and sales programs for USCOM's unique heart monitor. Negotiations are progressing very positively with leading distributors for the other areas of the USA and new International locations.

Uscom also announces the appointment of its first distributor in Eastern Europe with the appointment of Vok Medical to service the Russian Federation. It has also appointed Medtel to cover the Australian market and is actively working with its partner in Asia, Pacific Medical Systems to establish greater penetration across the rapidly growing Asian markets.

We are now well funded and will be working with all our new partners to give them the support and tools they require to make the strongest drive for sales we have ever undertaken.”
