Laser Energetics Announces Dazer Laser Expands Market in Medical Healthcare
20 April 2011 - 2:53AM
Laser Energetics, Inc. (Pink Sheets:LNGT) today
reported an additional Medical Facility has purchased the Dazer
Laser® for its security forces. This continues to validate market
demand for Ocular Distracters in the health care environment. The
Florida based facility asked its name kept confidential at this
time.
Medical Facilities nationwide have experienced a dramatic
increase in on-premise injuries from assaults. A recent report by a
hospital committee in Illinois stated that violent assaults in
hospitals are far too common and likely under reported.
A commentary published in the Dec 8th issue of the Journal of
the American Medicine Association indicated the rate of assaults in
all private-sector industries in the United States is 2 per 10,000,
compared to 8 per 10,000 at health care workplaces. In line with
these findings, two Connecticut District Health Boards reported an
average of at least one assault or near-miss a week since last
September. Assaults at a Connecticut Hospital and Infirmary have
increased by 74 percent despite a new partnership between hospitals
and police. Similarly, a western state hospital security spokesman
said 30 percent of hospital staff had been assaulted in 2010 at
their facility, an all time high.
A suburban Chicago-based joint commission urges hospitals to
take immediate action. The group's data information shows a year
over year increase of assaults in the nation's health care
facilities with the largest increase occurring over the past 3
years.
Greg Olson, Vice-President of USO Consulting, a security firm
that works with hospitals and other institutions, stated, "The
Dazer Laser® is an excellent tool for the health
care/hospital environment. In my opinion it should be standard
equipment for security in all clinics, hospitals and
medical institutions in order to safely and effectively prevent
escalating assaults."
Robert Battis, President and CEO of Laser Energetics, stated,
"Although health care facilities have not utilized solution-based
protective devices like the Dazer Laser® in the past, it is
apparent that the rise of violence in these facilities requires a
new form of humane and safe alternatives to help control violence,
eliminate injuries and avoid deaths. This sale further proves the
viability of the Dazer Laser® as the ultimate non-lethal weapon in
both non-lethal and lethal environments."
