Verbatim, leader storage media has expanded its portfolio to include CD-Rs and DVD-Rs specifically tailored to the requirements of the healthcare sector. This move represents a response to the growing demand from the healthcare sector for high quality storage media for archiving confidential and important data. The high quality standards of the Verbatim MediDisc make it a reliable partner for clinics and medical practices.

Storage media for secure archiving of patient data plays a vital role in the healthcare sector. Verbatim is now offering new MediDisc™ Medical Grade CD-Rs and DVD-Rs which meet the specific needs of medical data management and storage.

Verbatim's MediDisc™ storage media are also DICOM-standard compatible (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine standard) - (DICOM Standard exists to create and maintain international standards for the communication of biomedical, diagnostic and therapeutic information in those medical disciplines that use digital images and associated data.)

The Verbatim MediDisc™ is extremely robust and reliable due to its innovative surface technology. With the patented Metal Azo technology developed by Mitsubishi Chemicals, Verbatim's parent company, the media ensure error-free, fail-safe data acquisition and protect the stored data from environmental influences. "Their innovative coating makes Verbatim MediDisc™ CD-Rs and DVD-Rs outstandingly tough and therefore ideal for frequent use over many years. The diligent manufacturing process and continuous monitoring by Verbatim guarantee our products' consistent standard of quality for use in the medical sector," says Torsten Leye, Marketing Manager Optical at Verbatim EUMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa).

The Verbatim MediDisc™ CD-R offers 700 MB storage capacity with 52x write speed. At 4.7 GB, the MediDisc™ DVD-R has space for storing particularly large volumes of data and features up to 8x write speed. It therefore offers the best possible compatibility with DVD burners. Both formats are available in a jewel case for £0.79 per discs.
