MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Skyline Medical (OTCQB: SKLN) is making it easier for hospitals and surgery centers to include state-of-the-art waste management systems in new and renovated facilities. The company is making its revolutionary, FDA-approved STREAMWAY System for automated, direct-to-drain medical fluid disposal available through Attainia software -- the world's most widely used healthcare equipment planning and budgeting software.

"Our partnership with Attainia will increase awareness among healthcare organizations worldwide that they have an alternative to the antiquated, high-risk fluid disposal methods they've been using for years," said Josh Kornberg, CEO of Skyline Medical, formerly BioDrain Medical. "The patented STREAMWAY System is the first truly closed system designed specifically for medical applications, where safety simply cannot be compromised. Our system is a one-piece, wall-mounted unit that connects directly to a facility's plumbing system to minimize human intervention, provide unlimited capacity, and eliminate the cost and environmental waste of canisters," Kornberg explained. "By working closely with clinical teams and architect partners in the early stages, we can ensure a seamless and successful installation."

Skyline Medical chose Attainia because it's the industry leader in healthcare equipment planning. "Currently, more than 2,000 active healthcare projects are being planned using Attainia software systems, totaling more than $30 billion," Kornberg said. "As a leading provider for healthcare planning, Attainia was a logical choice for our new alternative solution to fluid waste management."

"Attainia's purpose is to give healthcare organizations access to all the latest technologies and equipment as they plan their facilities," said Attainia Vice President of Supply Chain Services Anil Singhal, MD. "Skyline's STREAMWAY System is a new disruptive technology that gives our customers a new choice in the critical fluid waste management function."

The STREAMWAY System will debut in the Attainia catalog in mid-February under two Fluid Waste Management categories -- Surgical Fluid Collection and Surgical Fluid Disposal -- since the single automated system covers both functions. The STREAMWAY System is used in operating rooms, as well endoscopy, radiology and other specialty departments.

About Skyline Medical Inc.
Skyline Medical Inc. produces a fully automated, patented, FDA-cleared, waste fluid disposal system that virtually eliminates staff exposure to blood, irrigation fluid and other potentially infectious fluids found in the healthcare environment. Antiquated manual fluid handling methods -- which require hand carrying and emptying filled fluid canisters -- present an exposure risk and potential liability. Skyline Medical's STREAMWAY System fully automates the collection, measurement and disposal of waste fluids and is designed to: 1) reduce overhead costs to hospitals and surgical centers, 2) improve compliance with Occupational State and Health Association (OSHA) and other regulatory agency safety guidelines, 3) improve efficiency in the operating room, and radiology and endoscopy departments -- leading to greater profitability, and 4) provide greater environmental stewardship by helping to eliminate the approximately 50 million potentially disease-infected canisters that go into landfills annually in the United States.
