ATLANTA, April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Irrimax Corporation names experienced medical device sales executive, Gene Ritter, as the company's first vice president of sales.

IRRISEPT is an FDA-cleared debridement and cleansing system containing 0.05% Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) in water for irrigation.

"Having an experienced and well-respected industry expert spearhead our sales efforts is a major milestone for Irrimax and a significant endorsement of our technology and sales growth potential," says Chief Executive Officer Gareth Clarke.
