De-Risked, High-Performance Technology Platforms
Based in Massachusetts, the Company owns WAVEPulse Sterilization and SterileTest Verification, novel platforms for reprocessing temperature-sensitive medical devices
- Sterilizes bio-pathogens, super bugs, viruses, and other potentially lethal substances
- Destroys proteins and other critical biomolecules so can no longer cause infection or allergic reaction
- Fractures Prions, the extremely stable infectious proteins that can cause Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE/” mad cow disease”); incurable and fatal brain diseases
- Attains Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-10, far exceeding 10-4 to 10-6 levels currently available.
Large Addressable Market Opportunities
- Sterilization and verification failures in reprocessed medical devices
- Complex, minimally invasive devices
- Rubber, plastic, metals and adhesive materials with complex articulating parts and long lumens
- More than 15 million endoscopy procedures annually in US
- Inability to destroy Prions by existing processes for patients undergoing brain, spinal and eye surgeries (>100,000/year)
- Reduction of hospital-acquired infections (HAI) in alignment with goals of Affordable Care Act
Target Markets
- Reprocessing medical devices in hospitals, clinics, nursing homes and ambulatory surgical centers
- Supplying FDA-cleared exclusive consumables required for WAVEPulse Sterilization and SterileTest Verification
