About Advanced Biomedical Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: ABMT)
Advanced Biomedical Technologies, Inc. is a revolutionary new biotech company. The company's primary product line includes internal fixation devices consisting of high grade polymers (polyamide - "PA") which allow the body to degrade the products during the healing process. During that healing process, these products also stimulate new bone growth that replaces the degrading device and leaves newer, stronger bone in the exact location of the injury; thus making the site of the injury stronger and more resistant to recurring damage. These products provide an alternative to metal implants and overcome the limitations of other re-absorbable fixation devices.

The products and materials that the Company has created differ from existing products (titanium/stainless steel) being marketed today by:

  • the ability to control the speed that the device degrades; therefore improving upon the healing time.
  • eliminating the need for a second surgery to replace device due to infection or other post-operative complications.
  • the capability of being evenly absorbed from outer layer inwards, so that it gives enough restoration time for bone healing and re-growth.
