RIVERPOINT MEDICAL - Key Persons

Cynthia, Pat, Patrick, and Wayne Black established CP Fishing, creating Bioline® Fishing. The pioneers were able to apply the needlepoint and absorbable suture technology to the production of premium fishing products. Bioline® Fishing focused on creating sharper fishing hooks and a biodegradable fishing line. The fishing hooks made with a proprietary point geometry are now selling today under Eagle Claw's Lazer TroKar® premium fishing hook name. After years of testing, Bioline® has proven to be the first performance engineered biodegradable fishing line ever produced. The profile of Bioline® was adopted from the long-term absorbable suture technology, which gives it a 3-5 year biodegradability when lost in the environment.

John Ferguson started the brand, MedLED™, in Portland, Oregon. With a passion for lights and engineering, John kept pushing the limits of LED's to make them brighter, lighter and longer lasting.

Pat Ferguson began his career with the Davis & Geck Suture Company selling surgical sutures. Davis and Geck is one of the oldest suture manufacturers and pioneers in the development of synthetic absorbable sutures [Dexon® is the first synthetic absorbable suture developed by Davis and Geck in the early 70's]. Pat Ferguson went on to represent CR Bard (cardiovascular) and Smith & Nephew Dyonics (Ortho) surgical product lines.
