Converter Benefit Program

Vancive Medical Technologies, formerly Avery Dennison Medical Solutions, has introduced a business support program for medical device converters at MEDICA 2012, the World Forum for Medicine International Trade Fair. The new Converter Benefit Program offers converters in the temporary adherent medical device sector access to a diverse range of differentiated products.

The initiative supports qualified converters with wide-ranging resources, including expert technical support, marketing resources and financial incentives. Vancive managers are available to discuss the program at MEDICA Hall 06, Stand H07.

"The program strengthens our relationships with converter partners and is structured so we both have opportunities to grow our business," says Barbara Van Rymenam, Vancive Medical Technologies global market segment manager. "Our innovative solutions give our program partners a pipeline of new product offerings."
