CoolSeal receives CE mark, Japan PMDA approval; now available in over 20 countries worldwide

LOUISVILLE, COLORADO, Sept. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bolder Surgical today announced the global launch of its CoolSeal™ Vessel Sealing platform. CoolSeal has been in use since October 2020 in the U.S., and with the new international regulatory approvals the devices are available in over 20 countries around the world.

Bolder Surgical provides surgeons precision electrosurgical instruments to perform minimally invasive surgery safely and effectively in pediatric and adult procedures including general, gynecological and bariatric surgical applications.

The CoolSeal Vessel Sealing suite includes the 3 mm Mini (formerly JustRight Sealer) and the 5 mm Trinity Sealer/Divider/Dissector. Both devices are powered with the gold-standard efficacy of advanced bipolar RF vessel sealing technology.

“Having successfully used the 3 mm vessel sealer for many cases in pediatric surgery, the Trinity 5 mm device is an excellent addition to my selection of surgical instruments,” said Dr. Satoshi Ieiri, pediatric surgeon, Kagoshima University Hospital. “The slim, curved jaw design and added sealing capacity supports procedures on larger children, adolescents and adults. It is a true all-in-one instrument that enables precise dissection and produces quick sealing times with minimal thermal distribution and great advantages.”

With an average thermal spread less than 1 mm and slim, dual action jaws, CoolSeal devices combine the finesse of true surgical instruments with the gold-standard efficacy of advanced bipolar RF vessel sealing. The devices are designed for multi-functional performance that can mean fewer instrument exchanges, helping streamline workflow and reduce operative time.

Bolder Surgical continues its path of innovation through focused investment in R&D to move the company beyond its origin in pediatric devices.  “We’ve successfully leveraged our expertise in microsurgical devices and energy delivery to create the CoolSeal portfolio,” stated Robert Kline, President and CEO of Bolder Surgical. “The portfolio is designed to give surgeons innovative, versatile options that minimize surgical impact, from the smallest patients to adolescents and adults. We are extremely proud that physicians across the globe can now access this innovative technology.”

CoolSeal products are now available in over 20 countries worldwide including member countries of the European Union, the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, and the Middle East. For information visit BolderSurgical.com.

Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Global Self-Care Federation (GSCF) today announces the launch of a pioneering report for self-care, the Self-Care Readiness Index, developed with the support of the World Health Organization (WHO). The Index identifies four self-care enablers, which offer health systems action-oriented ways to empower individuals, create better health outcomes, and improve health system sustainability in a time when resources are under lasting pressure.

Self-care is defined by WHO as the ability of individuals to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and cope with illness and disability with or without the support of a healthcare provider. Self-care is more important now than ever before. In a recent WHO survey of 135 countries and territories, 90% reported continued disruptions to essential health services due to the pandemic.

“The pandemic has exposed just how fragile our health systems are. Now is the time to sustainably invest in their future,” said Heiko Schipper, Chairman of GSCF. “I believe The Self-Care Readiness Index can help close the gap between the value of self-care and how it is practiced worldwide. We need to put the health and well-being of individuals at the center of our health policies to build more sustainable, resilient ways of practicing healthcare.”

A diverse set of 10 countries around the world were analysed for the Index, in the context of four key enablers of self-care, identified as stakeholder support and adoption, consumer and patient empowerment, health policy and regulatory environment.

“The effectiveness of self-care in combination with formal approaches to healthcare is often neglected in health policies,” commented Judy Stenmark, Director General at GSCF. “The Index is an extremely practical tool in that it provides stakeholders with ample data and a starting point to recognise how they can strengthen national health policies and take a coherent approach to self-care.”

The Index aims to serve as a learning platform to inspire new approaches to self-care. It calls for collective action to integrate self-care into global healthcare, and for a new global compact to be established on self-care at the WHO-level, to recognize self-care as a global health priority.

The TUV Digital Currency is a Globally Valid and Multicurrency CBDC -equivalent, available to and for all countries

ST PETER PORT, Guernsey and NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The TUV Digital Currency released by Global Telephony Company Webtel.mobi (“WM”) not only renders all current Cryptocurrencies redundant, it also fulfills the role of a Global Multicurrency Wholesale and Retail CBDC-equivalent for all countries. An overview of some of its characteristics is as follows:

In the recent year-long review of the WM System and TUV by Professor Jan Kregel of the Levy Economics Institute, the WM System was compared by Professor Kregel to the “International Clearing Union” previously proposed by the English Economist John Maynard Keynes.

Similarly, Professor Kregel compared the TUV Digital Currency to the “Bancor” – the Instrument proposed by Keynes as a form of Global Currency between countries.

Whereas Keynes’s proposals were for an International Clearing Union and Bancor that were managed by organizations, WM’s System (a de-facto International Clearing Union) and TUV (a de-facto “Bancor”) are directly available to ordinary people worldwide.

TUVs can be created from any Smart Phone or Pre-Smart Mobile Phone, and then used for transfers, payments or other transactions worldwide between Members on the WM System. Their value can also be converted to and among any of the world’s Reserve Currencies.

In concluding his review of the WM System and the TUV Digital Currency, Professor Kregel concluded that the WM and TUV had the capacity to reform aspects of the current Global Financial System.

With the advent of the TUV, countries and entities seeking to produce their own CBDCs have a fully operational and real-world blueprint of how to proceed – unless they start to use the TUV themselves.

Two fintech Unicorns join forces to shape the future of financial services and democratize access to banking in Europe

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Feedzai, the world’s leading cloud-based financial risk management platform, and Solarisbank AG, Europe’s leading Banking-as-a-Service platform, announced today at Money20/20 Europe a multi-year partnership. The pioneering companies have joined forces to reshape banking, combining the trailblazing transformation that comes with Banking-as-a-Service with the risk management and security that is expected from financial institutions – all while preserving the customer experience. Importantly, the flexibility of Feedzai’s risk management solution means they can scale as Solarisbank grows, helping the company to keep up with a regulatory and geo-political landscape that is in a constant state of flux as well as more comprehensively protect customers from threats.

Solarisbank enables any company to offer financial services via APIs while easing the technical and regulatory complexities of banking. With this new partnership, Solarisbank is leveraging Feedzai’s proprietary technology which enables them to apply an effective risk management which is in line with respective law requirements.

“We were drawn to Feedzai’s depth and breadth of experience in helping various banks fight financial crime,” said Roland Folz, CEO of Solarisbank. “Using Feedzai’s financial risk management platform we can bridge an important gap within the industry to deliver the best experience, both in terms of customer ease of use and protection from financial risk.”

Solarisbank joins an elite list of customers that use the fully packaged Feedzai Solutions that can assess risk for single and cross-channel transactions in an agile and easy-to-deploy way.

“We are excited to be part of Solarisbank’s growth journey by providing a best-in-class risk management tool that will be further protecting its tech-savvy customer base,” said Nuno Sebastiao, CEO of Feedzai. “A growing number of financial institutions are looking for cutting edge financial risk management technologies wrapped around a digital-first evolution approach. Solarisbank is leading this new wave of financial institutions that are unlocking the full power of the cloud.”

Solarisbank evaluated several solutions available in the market. Among the key differentiators that contributed to the decision of implementing Feedzai’s technology are:

• Flexibility in handling the financial risk of a growing heterogeneous customer base while being able to make changes in a self-service fashion
• Configurable Risk Levels: the ability to apply an effective risk-based approach during transactions monitoring
• Flexible SSR (self-service rules): the provision to work on rules independently

In addition to Feedzai’s flexible technology, scalability played an important role in order to match Solaris growth projections for the years to come.
