Oslo, March 13, 2024 - Observe Medical ("the Company" or "Observe Medical")
today releases its results for the full year and second half of 2023.
Business update
The strategic acquisition of trademarks and intellectual property rights for the
UnoMeterT portfolio from Convatec, coupled with the CE certification of
UnoMeterT 500, marked 2023 as a transformative year for Observe Medical. These
milestones laid a strong groundwork for the company's commercial growth.
In a year of commercial milestones, Observe Medical achieved growth and market
expansion in 2023. We launched and delivered our first UnoMeterT Abdo-Pressure
and UnoMeterT 500 products, demonstrating our capacity to meet market demand.
Also, we expanded our distribution network to cover more than 20 countries,
accounting for a substantial portion of historic Convatec sales territories.
