GLOBAL EDITION

THE COMPANYSmiths Medical International are the manufacturers of the Wallace product range, a leading brand in the Assisted Reproduction and Gynaecological field. As leaders in this market we are committed to producing high quality devices and offer continual support to clinicians through training and educational programs.

Our focus on the design and quality of manufacture ensures that our products meet the high demands required by leading clinicians, nurses and embryologists across the globe.

OUR HERITAGESmiths Medical worked with the pioneers of IVF in the development and manufacture of the Wallace Embryo Transfer Catheter. The attention to detail during the design of the Wallace catheter has ensured that it has remained the most widely used catheter in the world and is consistently associated with the highest pregnancy rates.1-7 During the 30 years that Smiths Medical has been manufacturing catheters, we have also developed an Oocyte Recovery Needle range and an Obstetrics and Gynaecology portfolio.

NEW PRODUCT DEvELOPMENTWe are constantly striving to advance our products and in turn improve clinical results. The cutting edge technology used in the Sure view® catheter allows all the benefits of the Classic catheter to be combined with the unique ability to view the entire catheter length under ultrasound.

Building upon the proven design of the Wallace Classic catheter, Smiths Medical has developed a new range of Sure-Pro® catheters. The Sure-Pro® catheter combines the soft atraumatic tip of the Classic whilst offering a supported element and a pre-formed outer. The Sure-Pro Ultra® takes this one step further by combining these features with the Sure View® technology that allows full visibility under ultrasound.

An Embryo Replacement Training DvD is available that offers both clinical staff and patients the opportunity to see how our catheters are used in practice.

QUALITY ASSURANCESmiths Medical’s manufacturing site has been certified against internationally recognised quality standards ISO 9001:2000, ISO 13485:2003 and the European Medical Directive 93/42/EEC, allowing our products to be CE marked. We also manufacture in compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practices issued by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). All Quality System Approval Certificates are available upon request.
