In 2006, HealthTronics launched ClariPath Laboratories. The motivation behind this initiative was to provide physicians, primarily urologists, lab services that would ensure the highest levels of diagnostic accuracy, safety and service. It has enjoyed rapid growth and expansion in its two years of operations.

In 2008, we continued to build on this foundation with the acquisition of Uropath, LLC. Founded in 2003, UroPath is a leading provider of anatomical pathology laboratory services in the U.S. In 2007, labs managed by UroPath processed over 400,000 specimens, serving more than 50 urology practices with over 450 physicians across 17 states. UroPath's unique historical operating model focused on the patient benefits of a more disease-focused diagnosis capability for prostate health with greater involvement by the urologist who often acts as the primary care physician when dealing with prostate disease.

The combination of UroPath and HealthTronics will enhance existing pathology operations by providing superior service and new technologies, as well as a broad platform of offerings in a very dynamic market and ever-changing regulatory environment.
