Empower Clinic Inc’s wholly-owned subsidiary Medi+Sure Canada Inc. has obtained a Health Canada Medical Device Establishment License (MDEL) to source class II to class IV diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices from MDALL licensed manufacturers across the world.
The integrated healthcare company can then distribute these medical devices in Canada under the MediSure brand.
"The achievement of MediSure receiving the new MDEL licence from Health Canada is a major accomplishment, as it complements our existing Health Canada MDALL manufacturing license, and immediately opens the door for MediSure to launch new, innovative medical device solutions into the Canadian healthcare market," said Mario Cortis, MediSure’s president.

“One in four Canadians, and one in four Americans are afflicted with various forms of diabetes, and as such, we must use our resources to advance care and treatment options for patients," added Steven McAuley, chairman & CEO of Empower.
Expand reach
"We also must expand our reach into new technologies, new devices, new ways to deliver care. We must use The Medi-Collective.
“We are going to pilot new technology. MediSure as a division, as a company, has already made an impact, and I am certain much more impact will come from the MediSure brand in North American markets now that the MDEL licence is officially granted."
