SmallCap Sentinel: DME Firms Seen as Likely Acquisition Candidates as Industry Consolidation Continues


IRVINE, Calif., June 12, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- "Several emerging-growth companies in the durable medical equipment (DME) sector may be logical acquisition candidates as the momentum toward consolidation within the DME sector continues," stated SmallCap Sentinel analyst D.R. Clark. "Recent news reports are replete with startling statistics indicating that the growing baby boomer population represents near-term future orthopedic needs that may indeed outstrip the supply of surgeons to implant them."

"Such calls on future demand could be a boon for DME companies that make and market joint-replacement devices, braces and other orthopedic products," continued Clark. "Aging baby boomers will need a wide variety of "support and replacement parts" like braces for rehabilitating limbs and arthritic joints, pain management products for ailing extremities and aching backs and therapeutic devices for post-operative recovery, rehabilitation and bone repair."

The informational report "DME's: The Best Kept Secret in Healthcare?" is available at www.SmallCapSentinel.com. DME companies will be discussed and detailed with specific emphasis on their relationship to the burgeoning healthcare sector. Companies discussed in the report include DJO, Inc. (NYSE:DJO), Biomet Inc. (Nasdaq:BMET), Stryker Corporation (NYSE:SYK) and Trinity3 Corp. (OTCBB:TRYT).

"Trinity3 Corp., firmly established in the ever-growing DME arena, offers its orthopedic products throughout California and Nevada and leverages first-tier brand names like Body Glove through exclusive agreements," said Clark. "Trinity3 is implementing a bold roll-up strategy in its effort to become a force within the DME market through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Skyline Orthopedics. Skyline services home healthcare organizations, a variety of physician practices, physical and sports therapy clinics, and pain management clinics throughout its rapidly expanding network."
