Biophan Technologies has announced that it will present its nanotechnology-based solutions for the healthcare industry at a World Nano-Economic Congress presentation at the Suntec Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Center.
The high-profile Congress, which draws participants from the international investor and financial community, will include presentations of the latest and most innovative nanotechnology-based developments across numerous fields and industries.
Biophan will highlight the Company’s proprietary nanotechnology-based solutions to make medical devices safe, effective and image-compatible with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines in a half-hour presentation entitled, “Nanotechnology for Medical Devices and Biomaterial Applications,” scheduled for 2:05 p.m. local time.
The World Nano-Economic Congress, previously held in such locations as Washington, D.C., London, Munich and Dublin, features world-renowned speakers from academia, industry and government, and draws more than 10,000 participants to a variety of conferences and events. Attendees expected this year include venture capitalists, private equity institutions, scientific thought leaders, entrepreneurs and leading technology innovators – providing presenters with valuable new exposure and global visibility.
Due to various safety and compatibility problems, millions of patients with implanted devices are denied access to MRI systems. Biophan has developed a wide range of novel MRI-enabling technologies for pacemakers, defibrillators, neurostimulators, stents, vena cava filters, catheters, guidewires, drug pumps and other devices.
Recently, Biophan signed a milestone agreement to license some of its proprietary medical device technologies to major medical manufacturer, Boston Scientific (NYSE: BSX - News). The Company is in ongoing discussions with other large medical manufacturers.
