Houston Police Deploy Two BolaWrap® Devices Simultaneously to Help Safely Restrain Subject

TEMPE, Ariz., Sept. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wrap Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “WRAP”) (Nasdaq: WRAP), a global leader in innovative public safety technologies and services, released new bodycam footage of a successful double BolaWrap deployment in Houston, Texas. The video showed how the BolaWrap assisted officers in safely and humanely restraining a noncompliant subject in crisis. With approximately 5,300 officers and 1,200 civilian support personnel, Houston Police Department is the United States’ fifth-largest municipal police department, serving its fourth-largest city.

On June 16, 2021, Houston Police Department responded to a call about a subject who was trespassing, had a pocketknife, and seemed to be in crisis. The subject was uncooperative, so officers deployed two BolaWrap devices simultaneously. One wrapped around the subject’s upper legs, and the other wrapped around his ankles, effectively subduing the subject. As a result, officers were able to safely approach and place the subject into handcuffs without force or injury.

“The Houston Police Department officers on scene did an excellent job of communicating, preventing the encounter from escalating, and safely apprehending the subject,” said Tom Smith, CEO and President of WRAP. “This field use video highlights one of the crucial benefits of using the BolaWrap. Unlike other law enforcement tools where multiple uses on a suspect typically increase the risk of injury, the BolaWrap does not rely on pain compliance and can therefore be deployed numerous times on a single suspect. We are pleased to see another safe policing outcome with the help of our BolaWrap Remote Restraint solution.”

The bodycam footage can be viewed here.

The BolaWrap is currently being tested and used by more than 590 agencies in the U.S. and 44 countries. Additional bodycam footage of the BolaWrap in use can be viewed here.

CPC Launches New MicroCNX Connectors, a First for Small-Volume Biopharma Processing

<p>Only alternative to tube welding at small tubing sizes</p>

PR Newswire


DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.
, Sept. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – CPC (Colder Products Company), part of Dover (NYSE: DOV) and maker of a broad range of single-use connectors, today announced the launch of a new ultra-compact sterile connector providing biopharmaceutical manufacturers a much-needed alternative to tube welding for their small-volume closed aseptic processes. MicroCNX™ Series Connectors are the industry’s first aseptic connectors designed to provide a simple, efficient method of connecting tubing in small-format assemblies.

“MicroCNX connectors are a critically important option for a range of bioprocessing, cell therapy and gene therapy workflows,” said Troy Ostreng, Senior Product Manager for CPC’s biopharmaceutical business. “Until now, cumbersome tube welding has been the only way to make sterile closed connections of very small-bore tubing. The MicroCNX connector represents a huge innovation for the industry.”

MicroCNX connectors are designed specifically for small-volume processes involving widely used 1/16″ (1.6mm), 3/32″ (2.4mm) and 1/8″ (3.2mm) tubing. These include sampling, seed train expansion and early cell culture processes involving shaker flasks and rocker tables.

“The MicroCNX series was designed to help manufacturers improve efficiencies and reduce time and total cost in creating closed systems that deliver reliable, reproducible results,” said Ostreng.

Testing indicates that making a sterile connection with the new connector is up to four times faster than an operator using a tube welder.1 Meaning, in the time required to create one weld, up to four MicroCNX connections could be completed. Multiply those numbers over the course of a year, and the operational efficiencies are clear.

The easy, three-step process for using MicroCNX connectors requires minimal training. Users simply “Pinch-Click-Pull”: 1) pinch to remove the protective cover; 2) click together the connector halves; and, 3) pull out the protective membranes so flow can start. In comparison, tube welding involves a dozen or more steps, with operator challenges including maneuvering the tube welder into position, dealing with equipment maintenance, and requiring precise technique to create a successful weld. With MicroCNX solutions, there is no risk of faulty welds, welder breakdowns, or production delays due to weld equipment downtime.

Use of aseptic connectors eliminates the need to purchase, calibrate, validate and maintain tube welders that can cost more than $15,000 each. Manufacturers often need multiple welders, which take up valuable space in a cleanroom.

“It’s expensive and time-consuming to validate new space,” Ostreng noted. “MicroCNX connectors can help biopharmaceutical and cell and gene therapy manufacturers make the most of their existing cleanroom space.”

In order to ensure a clear flow path, tube welding requires operators to manually restore the tubing’s shape after being crimped by a weld. In contrast, MicroCNX connectors help deliver a consistent flow path with every connection. Because MicroCNX connectors can be incorporated into pre-made tubing assemblies, operators know where to make connections—there’s no guesswork on their part, which supports current good manufacturing practices (cGMP). The size, weight and geometry of the new connector also fit well with the trend toward compact automated equipment for use in processes like cell expansion.

It is made of hospital-grade, BPA-free silicone with a symmetrical nipple that respects baby’s palate, teeth and gums as they grow. Its one-piece design adheres to the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines.

  • Philips Avent Soothie snuggle Sloth

     and Koala: New sloth and koala characters are the latest additions to the Philips Avent Soothie snuggle portfolio. Soft, cuddly and easy to clean, Philips Avent Soothie snuggle helps calm baby by keeping the pacifier in place and serving as a furry companion. The detachable pacifier makes it easy to clean and allows caregivers to easily swap pacifiers as baby grows and develops.

  • Philips Avent Double Electric Breast Pump, Advanced
    : To meet the demands of new parents balancing busy lifestyles while breastfeeding, new Philips Avent Double Electric Breast Pump, Advanced, now includes a full soft silicone flange shield. Inspired by baby’s unique combination of suckling and massage, it is equipped with Natural Motion Technology which powerfully combines suction and nipple stimulation for quick milk flow. The product comes with a pumping belt to hold the pump and a rechargeable battery, so moms have the freedom to move around while expressing milk. Compact and lightweight, this pump allows for a hands-free experience when used with a pumping bra and the belt. With 8 stimulation and 16 expression levels as well as a memory function that automatically remembers your last settings, the pump offers a completely personalized experience.

  • Philips Avent Natural Baby Bottle with Natural Response Nipple
    : Based on over two decades of expertise and research into the physiology of breastfeeding and the way a baby drinks, Philips Avent developed this brand-new solution to support combination feeding. The latest innovation in bottle feeding mimics the breast not only in shape and feel, but also by letting baby control the pace of milk, just like they do when breastfeeding. The unique opening and tip only release milk when baby actively drinks. Therefore, when pausing to swallow and breathe, no milk flows. By releasing milk only when baby actively drinks, this bottle lets babies use their natural feeding rhythm.

“Philips Avent’s New Natural baby bottle with Natural Response Nipple is intentionally designed to work with a baby’s innate feeding rhythm and allow baby to self-pace every feed,” said Dr. Natasha Burgert, Philips Avent partner pediatrician. “Parents can be assured that this upgraded technology will encourage a natural suckling sequence that is similar to breastfeeding in feel and milk flow. This unique system is a game-changer for parents who desire an optimal bottle-feeding experience for their baby, no matter if offering breastmilk or infant formula.”

Philips Avent Natural Baby Bottle with Natural Response Nipple, Philips Avent Soothie Heart, Philips Avent Soothie snuggle Sloth and Koala, and Philips Avent Double Electric Breast Pump, Advanced are available for purchase on Philips.com, with broader retailer availability nationwide coming soon.

This ranking was developed by SHOOK Research and is based on in-person and telephone due diligence meetings to evaluate each advisor qualitatively, a major component of a ranking algorithm that includes: client retention, industry experience, review of compliance records, firm nominations; and quantitative criteria, including: assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. Rankings are based on the opinions of SHOOK Research, LLC and not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience.
