The Myotech CSS is a novel, non-blood contacting circulatory support system consisting of a flexible polymer cup which is inserted via an incision between two ribs and is positioned around the lower half of the heart, avoiding direct contact with circulating blood, which is the primary cause of complications with competitive devices. An external drive unit actuates the CSS cup, providing active systolic and diastolic support. This design can be rapidly installed in less than five minutes. The speed of installation and lack of contact with circulating blood make the CSS a superior design for treating sudden cardiac arrest patients. Over 260,000 patients per year experience in hospital cardiac arrest in the US alone, and these patients could greatly benefit from this device. The Company has pending application for additional patents that will cover future enhancements to the technology. "We are excited by the issuance of this patent, which greatly increases the value of our technology portfolio," stated John Lanzafame, Biophan's CEO. "This patent is the first US patent to issue covering the Myotech CSS technology, and is an important milestone for us." Biophan is currently seeking development and license partners to move the Myotech CSS forward into clinical trials. In addition, the Company has multiple grant applications under review at the National Institutes of Health and Department of Defense to help support research and development of the CSS technology. About Biophan Technologies, Inc. Biophan is dedicated to providing technologies that offer innovative and competitive advantages to the medical device industry.
