ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 16, 2005-- Research Indicates Methods to Substantially Improve the Safety of Implanted Leads Biophan Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: BIPH; FWB: BTN), a developer of next-generation medical technology, today announced the publication of an important new scientific paper co-authored by Robert W. Gray and W. Timothy Bibens, members of Biophan’s research staff, and a third author, Dr. Frank G. Shellock of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. This paper describes a novel, cutting-edge scientific solution to an important patient safety issue. The recent scientific findings described in the article show that relatively minor manufacturing design modifications made to implanted medical device leads can substantially decrease MRI-induced heating risks. Appearing in the current issue of MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING, a peer-reviewed scientific journal, the tested alternative could have significant implications for improving patient safety related to MRI-induced heating of leads in medical implants. Biophan has developed a portfolio of proprietary solutions consistent with the authors’ findings, to eliminate heating risks.
