Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) May 11, 2016

Haldor Advanced Technologies Ltd. ('Haldor'), a developer of medical technology products, announced today that it has entered into an exclusive global distribution agreement with Hill-Rom (NYSE: HRC), a leading global medical technology company. The agreement covers the exclusive distribution of Haldor's market leading ORLocate® suite of products and technology.

ORLocate® can be configured to meet many use-cases: sponge tracking, instrument lifecycle management, set-level or instrument-level tracking, accommodating every ORLocate® solution to a hospital's budgetary constraints and enabling expansion to support future organizational growth scenarios, while always improving patient safety and increasing intraoperative operational efficiency.

Hill-Rom is a leader in the perioperative and surgical space, whose product strategy, vision, and clinical expertise highly synergize with Haldor's technology and the key market we operate in,' said Ilan Kadosh Tamari, CEO of Haldor.

This partnership has the potential to create a new standard of care as it relates to the ORLocate® technology and hospitals' ability to track and trace surgical instruments, sponges, and consumables,' added Kadosh Tamari.
