Theragenics Launches Synergy™ Line of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICC)

February 28, 2013 By the Associated Press

BUFORD, Ga.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Feb 28, 2013–Theragenics Corporation (NYSE: TGX), a medical device company serving the surgical products and prostate cancer treatment markets, today announced that Galt Medical (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Theragenics), partnering with Health Line International Corporation (Health Line), launched the Synergy™ peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) product line. The product line features Galt’s industry-leading introducer components and Health Line’s Synergy™ PICC line. The Synergy™ expands Galt Medical’s product offering to include implantable delivery devices.

Synergy™ is a power injectable PICC available in sizes from 4-6 French, and in single, dual, and triple lumen configurations. PICC’s are used in treatments requiring vascular access, such as drug therapies, renal therapies, and blood sampling. They are capable of injecting contrast media needed for computed tomography (CT) scans, which eliminates the need for the insertion of a second venous access device. Galt has partnered with Health Line to co-brand and market the Synergy™ PICC in the United States using Galt’s distribution network. The addressable market in the United States for PICC’s is projected to grow at a compound annual growth of 5% and reach $300 million in annual sales by 2015 1. The Synergy is expected to add approximately $150,000 of revenue for Theragenics within the first twelve months of launch.

“The launch of the Synergy PICC line is Theragenics’ first co-branded product offering in our surgical products business segment,” said M. Christine Jacobs, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Theragenics Corporation. “This product line shows our ability to partner with other high quality component manufacturers to offer a wide variety of procedure kits. These arrangements will allow us to develop and launch new products faster and more frequently to further expand our product offerings and enter new markets.” Galt Medical, along with NeedleTech Products and CP Medical, comprise Theragenics’ surgical products business segment.

Theragenics Corporation (NYSE: TGX) operates two business segments: its surgical products business and its brachytherapy seed business. The surgical products business ( www.cpmedical.com, www.galtmedical.com, www.needletech.com ) manufactures and distributes wound closure, vascular access, and specialty needle products. Wound closure products include sutures, needles and other surgical products. Vascular access includes introducers, guidewires and related products. Specialty needles include coaxial, biopsy, spinal and disposable veress needles, access trocars, implanters, introducer products, and other needle-based products. The surgical products segment serves a number of markets and applications, including, among other areas, interventional cardiology, interventional radiology, vascular surgery, orthopedics, plastic surgery, dental surgery, urology, veterinary medicine, pain management, endoscopy, and spinal surgery. Theragenics’ brachytherapy business manufactures, markets and distributes “seeds” used primarily in the minimally invasive treatment of localized prostate cancer. The Company’s brachytherapy product line ( www.theragenicsbrachy.com ) includes its palladium-103 TheraSeed ® device, its iodine-125 AgX100™ device and related services. The terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean Theragenics Corporation and all entities included in our consolidated financial statements.
