Pyrexar is proud to welcome a new distributor to the fight against cancer, Magna Medic Systems. Magna is headquartered just outside the city of Málaga on the Southern coast of Spain. We first met Elie Helou, General Manager, and Félix Navarro, Medical Physicist, at the annual European Society of Hyperthermic Oncology (ESHO) conference in Zurich, Switzerland. Their team was on a mission to bring hyperthermia to the forefront of Spain's oncology community and while at the conference sift through the competitive offerings to find the best fit. After hearing Pyrexar's presentation of the company's direction, along with the stream positive result findings from thermal therapy researchers from around the world, the group chose Pyrexar.
In addition to being an ESHO partner, Magna Medic is the driving force behind the creation of the thermal oncology working group of SEOR (Spanish Society of Radiation Oncology). SEOR is a group of 60 oncologists looking to improve cancer treatment outcomes with the latest in cancer-fighting technologies. Together they are building a thermal oncology training and education program that will span the country.
Magna joins long-time distributors, Sennewald Medizintechnik (Germany) and Orientech (China), along with newly added Linden Biosciences (Taiwan), HanBeam Technologies (Korea), ORB Global (UK), ORB Darou (Iran), ProCoss (Japan). BON FCZ (Middle East) and ORB Enerji (Central Asia). We look forward to working closely with the Magna team and plan to visit their facilities and tour the country. I have never been to Spain, but I kind of like their music. (Those under 40 may not catch the Three Dog Night reference, but if you want to see my 1970's high school fashion influence, here is a link, enjoy.)
