Medea International is currenly distributing in UK a new ?Scratchless? disc.

ScratchLess disc is a new patented innovation that eliminates the problem of surface damage to discs.

The ScratchLess Disc was designed to protect data or media stored on discs from physical damage caused by everyday use and handling. The disc has 20 small, patented bumps (Aero-Bumps) that elevate the disc to avoid contact with any flat surface, thereby eliminating damage. Co-developed with General Electric, the disc's secondary layer of protection is achieved by adding a polymer coating, which gives it an extra glass-hard layer of protection.

The discs also feature the Easy-Up-Edge, a slanted/raised edge that allows the user to easily pick up the disc from a flat surface. The Scratch-Less Disc can be safely slid across or lifted directly from a surface, providing damage prevention.

The Scratch-Less Disc is currently available in CD-R and will be followed by CD-RW in the near future. Scratch-Less Disc will debut its DVD formats (DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW and DVD-RW) in 2006.
