Regulatory press release

PolarCool AB (publ) commences establishment in the UK and Ireland in collaboration with Nisus Medical Ltd

Read the release

Nisus Medical Ltd, operating in the UK and Ireland, specializes in helping international manufacturers introduce innovative medical devices in the UK and Ireland (Medical NHS and Private Healthcare). Nisus Medical was founded in 2010 and they have over 20 years of experience in sales and marketing in healthcare from companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Baxter Healthcare, and Pfizer.

Concussions in rugby are a serious problem and the need is great for innovative equipment to mitigate its serious health consequences. In addition, rugby clubs are expected to be able to use the PolarCap® System in cases of repetitive head impact that clearly have been proven to have neurodegenerative consequences. Rugby, together with football, are the largest sports in the UK and Ireland with about 2.3 million practitioners at junior and senior level.

£1billion (GBP) is traded in the national teams and the highest competition series in Great Britain and Ireland which is the 6 Nations championship. 

Together, Nisus Medical and PolarCool will work, in the main, with the national and regional professional teams of Rugby Union and League, along with schools and universities, which constitute an extensive market, as well as most other rugby organizations and clubs throughout the region.

Nisus Medical see great potential of uptake and sales of the PolarCap® System and consider the potential profitability to be high. By entering the UK and Ireland, PolarCool estimates a large increase of installed systems and revenues during the period 2020-2021, considering that the number of teams in just the top tier bracket is estimated to be more than 80.
