Thank you very much. I'll try to give you a quick picture.
Posiflex Design is a company that works to create innovative and ergonomic solutions to help workers in many fields. Our experience in the past couple of years has been directed toward the dental industry, from where the initial demand was sent to us.
Literally billions of dollars are spent every year with respect to musculoskeletal disorder prevention or problems. A lot of money is spent in order to replace or train people. A lot of people have either stopped production or stopped working.
Ms. Noiseux is the designer of all the products that we have on the market. All of the products that we create come from and follow up on ergonomic studies that were performed. Specifically, our flagship product, the first product we put on the market, which is called the free-motion elbow support, came from a study that was requested by the health and safety association.
It was directed to dental people, because they realized that they had a lot of claims from these particular people in the workforce and also realized that most of the problems were created by the upper body not being supported. They contacted Ms. Noiseux and asked her to create a solution. The elbow support, which we have here, was created. I invite you to check it out later, after the presentation. Clinical studies with electromyography followed to demonstrate and prove without a doubt that using this technology would help eliminate or alleviate any problems people may have.
That said, we've also realized that the elbow supports that were created were also very useful for other people in other markets or other types of work, such as cardiologists, who use this when they do ECGs. There are also people working in artwork restoration who use this. Lately, we also have a lot of people using it in medical labs. These people spend their days working with their upper body unsupported.
It has allowed us to provide a solution for a lot of people. Some people have been able to return to work, and also, for a large majority, injuries can be prevented with this.
Along with that, for about a year now, we've been using a new technology that was developed with a partner and also with the CNRC in Boucherville, in Montreal. We call it skin foam technology. It's a very neat and unique urethane that we actually build the product with now, which marries to or allows for all of the body forms.
With this, we can actually build chairs. This technology allows us to go into sectors such as those where disinfectants are used, because it is totally resistant to all fluids and all disinfectants. We can make any shape or form with it. It does open up a lot of opportunities for people who want to do things that look different or for a certain sector.
One of the things we like to do and work very hard at is to take this knowledge, this technology which was invented here, and export it elsewhere. That said, we are now exporting some of the products, very modestly, but we have started now in France. We have users in different parts of the world. In Taiwan, there are some dentists who went back to work soon after shoulder surgery, as they could use the elbow support to help them do their work. This is the type of product that our company has developed.
