Biophan Technologies, Inc., a leading developer of next-generation biomedical technology, announced today that a broad U.S. Patent has been issued to Nanoset, LLC, Biophan's technology partner with Biophan holding the worldwide exclusive rights for all medical applications. The announcement was made by Michael Weiner, Biophan's president and CEO.
The Company noted that the nanomagnetic particle coating technology can illuminate devices that are currently difficult to see, either because they are invisible to MRI or because the devices occlude the MRI image. Combined with Biophan's safety solutions, the patented technology is expected to help pave the way to allowing MRI-guided surgical procedures, including minimally invasive procedures such as those used for placing stents, performing RF ablation, angiograms, biopsy probes, and many other procedures.
