Belmont Medical, a provider of fluid-resuscitation and patient-temperature management solutions, today announced the acquisition of Arcos, headquartered in Missouri City, Texas.
Founded in 2009 by Dr. George Kramer and Chris Meador, Arcos offers software technology, including its proprietary Burn Navigator and BloodNav solutions.
BloodNav is a Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) performance improvement tool designed to track blood products across all care settings while providing visibility to blood banks through a centralized dashboard. The system calculates transfusion ratios and delivers customizable MTP prompts to support providers' balanced resuscitation and other goals during MTP events. BloodNav also streamlines documentation workflows and offers seamless integration with electronic medical records (EMRs). BloodNav works alongside the Belmont Rapid Infuser to improve user experience, reporting capabilities and EMR integration.
Burn Navigator is a resuscitation support software designed to assist healthcare professionals caring for adult and pediatric patients with severe burns.
"This acquisition marks an important milestone in Belmont's growth strategy, accelerating innovation and the company's next phase of growth," noted Belmont Chief Executive Officer Brian Larkin. "I am pleased to welcome the Arcos organization to the Belmont family of dedicated team members and life-saving medical solutions."
"Joining Belmont will allow us to expand the use of BloodNav in the trauma setting, with the goal of improving patient care with a very intuitive and streamlined MTP performance-improvement and transfusion-documentation tool," said Chris Meador, CEO and Co-Founder of Arcos. "BloodNav naturally resides on The Belmont Rapid Infuser IV pole, uniting process improvement and blood-product tracking with the gold-standard for rapidly warmed fluid delivery during MTPs."
The acquisition of Arcos represents Belmont's third add-on since Audax Private Equity's investment in the company in 2017.
