United Medical Systems announces the acquisition of MoBx Mobile Breast Services, a Vacaville, California-based company for an undisclosed cash amount. The acquisition expands UMS’ stereotactic operations throughout Northern California. United Medical Systems is an international leader in shared medical services providing mobile services to over 625 hospitals and medical centers in 32 states and South America.
Over the past 12 years UMS has performed over 100,000 breast biopsies. Services include image-guided breast biopsy, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy and laser treatment of BPH. The financial advantages for UMS mobile services are significant, as the medical facility does not have to purchase expensive equipment or provide technical support. The shared system ensures that system utilization is five to ten times higher than equipment owned by the hospital.
