Beekley Medical specializes in products that help breast health, CT, MRI, radiation oncology, diagnostic, and interventional radiology professionals improve communication, efficacy, productivity and patient care. All Beekley Medical products are intended for single patient use to help maintain a sanitary environment. Each product is carefully designed for its intended modality and purpose so that you have the right tool for the right exam and to help you reduce the questions and challenges that can lead to scheduling disruptions and unnecessary additional imaging.
ICE Magazine recently interviewed Beekley Medical Director of Marketing Communications Mary Lang Pelton to find out more about the company including a new product.
“We recently partnered with an interventional radiologist to bring our newest product, CaraClip wire protector to market,” Pelton said. “CaraClip is a small, sterile device that helps reduce contamination by adhering to the sterile drape, allowing for wires to be loaded in and preventing them from falling outside the sterile field. It helps curve and redirect the wire and assists in wire management and organization during interventional and surgical procedures. CaraClip remains on the sterile drape for at least 8 hours and withstands fluids such as blood, saline, sterile water, iodine and contrast.”
Q: How does your company stand out in the imaging space?
A: Beekley Medical introduced the very first skin marker, the X-SPOT, back in 1985, a product designed to replace makeshift methods for identifying the nipple on chest X-rays, essentially creating the market for skin markers. The popularity of the X-SPOT led to the development of the Beekley skin marking system for mammography and other modality-specific skin markers, along with other medical devices and accessories that help imaging professionals do their jobs more effectively and improve patient care. We continue to be the market leader in our niche and keep a careful eye on developing technology in diagnostic imaging to ensure we develop, upgrade and introduce products that address our customers needs. We have a reputation for high-quality products and reliable, dependable service. We strive to ensure all orders are shipped the same or next business day after receipt and the incidence of back-ordered products is extremely rare.
Q: What is on the horizon for your company?
A: Our mission as a company is to make a difference in the lives of everyone we touch. With that in mind, our goal is to be the best at what we do and continue making an impact on patient care by expanding our product offerings to meet the needs in areas we haven’t been in historically, such as interventional radiology, surgical services and beyond. We have a full market research and product development team that is always on the lookout to partner with our customers, other medical professionals, inventors and industry partners to either develop new products or help bring an existing product to market to help us achieve our goals of helping our customers provide the best possible exams and care to their patients.
Q: Is there anything else you would like ICE Magazine readers to know?
A: Beekley Medical believes strongly in ongoing education, not just through ongoing industry training for our own associates, but also for imaging professionals. Our customers tell us how much they appreciate the value-added services our teams provide in terms of complimentary CE activities, case studies and other educational, informative content of relevance to their careers. In addition, Beekley Medical is a proud supporter and sponsor of several educational programs, conferences and advocacy groups for our imaging community. We have sponsored cross training scholarships. I would encourage ICE readers to subscribe to our newsletters to receive notifications about these educational opportunities as they arise, as well as to stay in the know about new product solutions for their modality.
