Biophan CEO Michael Weiner Discusses Company's Breakthrough Biomedical Technologies in Interview with CEOcast.com; CEO Provides Overview of Propriety Solutions and Commercialization Strategy
Mr. Weiner provided explanations of Biophan's proprietary technology development initiatives to provide significant solutions for the biomedical industry. He also provided an overview of the Company's business strategy to license its technology to the biomedical industry's major manufacturers of medical devices, to enable these manufacturers to create safer, competitively advantageous products in important markets. Biophan has signed a term sheet with leading medical device maker Boston Scientific and is in discussions with other manufacturers worldwide.
Among the Biophan solutions Mr. Weiner discussed are the Company's proprietary nanotechnology-based and other next-generation approaches to make vascular stents and pacemakers both safe and imageable by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems. MRI systems are uniquely powerful diagnostic imaging devices, but are contraindicated for use with certain common implanted medical devices, such as cardiovascular stents or pacemakers.

About Biophan Technologies
Biophan develops and markets cutting-edge technologies designed to make biomedical devices safe and compatible with the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment. The Company develops enabling technologies for implanted medical systems such as pacemakers and interventional surgical devices such as catheters, guidewires, stents, and other implants to allow them to be safely and effectively imaged under MRI. The technology is also being used to create MRI contrast agents, and has expanded to include other applications, such as drug delivery and power systems derived from body heat. Four Biophan technologies include advances in nanotechnology and thin film coatings. Committed to growth through innovation and developmental leadership, Biophan and its licensors now hold a total of 114 U.S. patents, licenses, or applications. This total includes 36 issued U.S. patents, 6 recently-allowed applications that will issue as patents in the near future, and 72 pending applications at various stages of examination at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, plus international applications. The patents cover areas including nanotechnology (nanomagnetic particle coatings), radio frequency filters, polymer composites, thermoelectric materials for batteries generating power from body heat, and photonics. Biophan has joint development arrangements with Boston Scientific (NYSE:BSX) and NASA's Ames Center for Nanotechnology. Biophan's goal is to make all biomedical devices capable of safely and successfully working with MRI, and delivering other technologies which will improve quality of life.
