Compiled by Cristina Lee / Times staff writer
HealthTrade International Inc., a Mission Viejo trading company specializing in medical and health care equipment, said it has recently signed an agreement to provide artificial lenses to several hospitals in Southern China.
Dr. Bart S. Chapman, president of HealthTrade, said the value of the contract is small but may open the door to future sales in China. He said Chinese officials have already indicated that they plan to order more artificial lenses next year.
The artificial lenses will be used by people suffering from cataracts.
Chapman said his company is currently negotiating with other Chinese hospitals to supply them with advanced computerized medical equipment.
