KINNELON, N.J., July 9 NJ-LifeRecovery-Elect
KINNELON, N.J., July 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Life Recovery Systems HD, LLC, a
developer of ground-breaking medical devices for the emergency care market,
has appointed Milton Frank as Chief Operating Officer. Frank has more than 30
years of experience in medical and electronic device manufacturing. He will
remain as president and CEO of NEXCORE Technology, Inc., a world-class
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of medical devices with headquarters in
Waldwick, NJ.
Life Recovery Systems developed and markets the ThermoSuit(R) System, the
fastest noninvasive hypothermia device, which rapidly reduces core body
temperature in a patient to between 33 degrees centigrade and 37 degrees
centigrade in a matter of minutes. The system continuously pumps a thin film
of ice water around the patient's body until the temperature reaches a preset
level. This unique technology cools patients at a rate of one degree
centigrade for every seven minutes of treatment. The duration of cooling
treatment required to achieve target temperature is typically 20 to 30
minutes. Numerous publications support the potential benefits of rapid
cooling. After cooling, the patient is removed from the ThermoSuit System and
can easily be transported around the hospital for other therapeutic
treatments. Patients cooled with the ThermoSuit System typically stay cold
for hours with little or no further maintenance cooling required.
NEXCORE worked with Life Recovery Systems to develop the system.
"Milt Frank has been involved in the development and manufacturing of
numerous electronic and digital devices for 30 years and has a hands-on
knowledge of the ThermoSuit System," said Dr. Robert J. Freedman, chairman and
president of Life Recovery Systems. "In addition to this technology expertise,
he is a highly capable and motivating executive and marketer, who will help us
meet the growing demand for our product."
Prior to founding NEXCORE Technology in 1999, Frank co-founded the Xylog
Corporation, an OEM manufacturer of turnkey electronic equipment. In 1987,
deciding to concentrate in the medical field, Frank and a partner formed
Meditron Devices to market directly to hospitals and gastroenterologists.
They merged Meditron with Xylog, which pursued private label OEM medical
contracts in all medical specialties.
In 1992, the company was sold to BEI Electronics, a San Francisco-based
public company, to serve as the foundation for BEI's entry into the medical
device industry. Frank became Vice President of R&D for that venture and was
responsible for the development of all new products.
The holder of numerous patents, Frank received both B.S. and Masters
degrees in electrical engineering from the City College of New York.
