Pyng Medical Enhances Strong Patent Portfolio
Vancouver, BC - Pyng Medical Corp. (PYT: TSX .V) has now received US patent protection (7,347,840) for its proprietary target patch with strain relief for their unique sternal infusion tube, an integral part of the FAST1™ Intraosseous Infusion System. This patch enables the caregiver to quickly locate the infusion site and protects the patient from infection risk or disruption of the infusion tube at the sternum.
“Our customers love our target patch because it makes the sternal placement of FAST1™ very quick, easy and intuitive. We are very pleased to now have this patent-protected, along with the many other unique patented features of FAST1™, which is why we continue to be the world-leaders in sternal line infusion,” said David Christie, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Pyng Medical continues to expand its patent portfolio with additional filings relating to its proprietary award-winning FAST1™ Intraosseous Infusion device. Pyng has also applied for trademark protection on Chest is Best™, reinforcing the benefits of rapid infusion through their unique FAST1 sternal line.
As part of its on-going commitment to technology innovation, Pyng Medical Corp recently released the enhanced FAST1™ system with a re-engineered infusion tube that no longer requires the use of a removal tool. The company is developing next generation intraosseous products and has filed to protect these and related inventions.
FAST1™ is the most rapid, reliable and safe alternative to conventional IV infusion providing lifesaving vascular access for fluid and drug resuscitation in shock and trauma victims. It is the only product able to rapidly deploy into the sternum allowing for delivery of life-saving fluids and drugs to the hearts in seconds.
