Medelita®, maker of breakthrough performance lab coats for both men and women, announces a new partnership with the Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants. Member benefit discount and affiliation agreement begin on May 1st.

The Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants is a non-profit professional organization comprised of individuals who provide dermatologic care, or have expressed interest in the field of dermatology. The SDPA organization, founded in 1994, has over 1,700 members and continues to grow. The main focus of the organization is to provide continuing medical education to its members, form leadership structure, act as an advocate for members, and develop resources for the evaluation and hiring of Physician Assistants. Medelita is proud to have this affiliation with such a prestigious PA organization, as the founder is also a PA. The partnership is extremely complimentary.

Dermatology PAs find Medelita lab coats to be especially professional and classy, with a comfortable, ergonomic fit. With a fit similar to professional clothing, and styling and workmanship improvements throughout, doing procedures from multiple angles and positions is now easier and more comfortable. Coupled with the Advanced Dual Action Teflon® fabric protector, the performance of the lab coats is ideal for those clinicians who are at higher risk for exposure to bodily fluids or other spills. Medelita high-performance lab coats help to ensure a clean, bright white appearance by preventing soil and stains from setting in, and also allowing a fluid barrier.  They wash better than any other lab coat available, and stay bright white.

“We recently received a testimonial from a dermatology PA who said that on the very first day that she received her Medelita lab coat, blood splashed onto the sleeve during a procedure,” shares Lara Manchik, PA-C and founder. “She simply “brushed” it off with a hand towel – with no trace of it left on the surface.  Her supervising MD immediately asked where he could get a similar coat of the same performance quality.”

Medelita®, maker of breakthrough performance men’s and women’s lab coats, today announced its conference and exhibit schedule for the second half of calendar year 2010. The company’s exhibit at medical conferences provides clinicians a chance to learn about modern advances in medical apparel. Many healthcare professionals unwittingly rely on the myth of the one-size-fits-all lab coat or scrubs, and are pleasantly surprised to learn that a more suitable alternative to ill-fitting unisex garments exists.

“We started Medelita to answer the need for quality medical apparel that, until now, has been a huge void in the industry,” said Lara Manchik, PA-C and founder of Medelita. “Today, only two years after founding the company, I am proud to announce that clinician response to our products is phenomenal. I am truly humbled by the accolades we continue to receive and know that we’ve redefined the way the industry perceives lab coats and scrubs.”

Made from 100 percent high denier cotton and designed specifically with a focus on fit and functionality, Medelita’s fluid resistant lab coats are treated with Advanced Dual Action Teflon® fabric protector, which allows fabric to repel and release stains. Tailored to fit the contours of the real human body, Medelita lab coats feature hidden inside pockets and finished inside seams. The High IQ® Easycare Plus helps fabric resist wrinkling and retain a soft, smooth, clean appearance. Technologically innovative, durable and fashionable, Medelita sets a new standard in professional lab coats. Lab coats are available in four men’s styles (sizes 36-52) and five women’s styles (sizes 0-16).

Medelita®, maker of breakthrough performance women’s and men’s lab coats, is pleased to announce an affiliate partnership with the American Association of Surgical Physician Assistants (AASPA). The AASPA represents the 9,000 physician assistants, out of 68,000, that specialize in the area of surgery. As part of the affiliate relationship, Medelita is offering a 15% discount to AASPA members on all lab coats, medical scrubs and professional clogs.

“According to the AASPA, surgical PAs play an important role in relieving surgeons as the national surgical residency slots decline,” said Lara Manchik, PA-C and founder of Medelita. “The demand for surgery is growing and PAs are helping to fill the void as institutions produce fewer surgeons. This is a testament to the importance of physician assistants in the field of medicine and we are thrilled to support them. Let’s face it, surgical PAs work in messy environments and it’s difficult to project a professional image wearing ill-fitting lab coats or scrubs with stains. That’s why I started Medelita — to answer the unmet need for high quality, professional medical apparel that clinicians can be proud to wear.”

The CDA Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the California Dental Association, whose mission is to improve the oral health of Californians by supporting dental health professionals and their efforts to meet community needs.

“The CDA Foundation provides much needed community access to dental care while ensuring a sustainable dental health workforce in California — both of which are reflective of the CDA Foundation’s multifaceted approach to advancing the state’s dental health,” said Lara Manchik, PA-C and founder, Medelita. “Whenever a CDA member purchases Medelita lab coats, scrubs and medical apparel or accessories, we will donate a portion of the sale to the CDA Foundation.”

The CDA Foundation’s objectives are to promote the concept that oral health and general health are inseparable, provide grant opportunities to community-based organizations and individuals to reduce disparities in access to oral health care and assist in meeting the immediate needs of vulnerable populations. In addition, the Foundation promotes and supports a dynamic oral health workforce capable of meeting the oral health needs of Californians, while representing the philanthropic values of the dental profession.

Medelita will donate proceeds of all CDA member purchases to the CDA Foundation. CDA members will be able to purchase qualifying products at CDA events and exhibits and on a special web site for CDA members, which will be coming soon.
