Beere Precision Medical Instruments, Inc. Awarded Patent

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Racine, Wisconsin (February 5, 2001)

Beere Precision Medical Instruments, Inc. (BPMII) has been awarded the patent number 6,179,302 B1 for its Locking Adapter.

This fully autoclaveable adapter is ideal where a quick release interconnection also needs to be locked into position. This is essential where inertia forces from axial impact could release a non-locking mechanism.

BPMII is an industry leader in new and innovative handheld surgical instruments. Among some of the items that BPMII manufactures are the patented Ortho-Grip® silicone rubber handles, ratcheting screwdrivers, spinal instruments, and torque limiting and measuring instruments. BPMII has a very large web presence at http://www.beeremedical.com.
