"We are excited to move forward in our relationship with Encompass," said Mary Butler, executive director of Marketing and Strategy for Global Surfaces at Hill-Rom. "This agreement is part of our focus on developing key alliances with other leading companies in the health care area. We believe the agreement with Encompass will bring a valuable new choice to our customers as they look for the right solutions to meet the needs of their patients. Encompass offers a cost effective solution as well as proven clinical efficacy in this important product area."
Butler adds that the new agreement should enable Hill-Rom to increase options for customers who may be looking to replace only part of a bed system. Under the agreement, Hill-Rom will be the exclusive provider of this non-powered surface product for use with Hill-Rom's signature TotalCare® Therapy System and VersaCare® Bed System.
"We believe Hill-Rom's leadership expertise combined with our own innovative therapeutic surface will be appealing to customers of both companies," said David Buchicchio, vice president of Marketing & Operations, for Encompass Therapeutic Support Systems.
