Medicortex was granted a Finnish patent related to the detection of tissue damage
Medicortex Finland Plc, a biopharmaceutical company focusing on the development of diagnostics and drug for mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), was granted a Finnish patent for detection of tissue damage and orthopaedic injuries otherwise needing X-ray/CT/MRI. This patent protects Medicortex’s unique detection method for such tissue damages based on the presence of a specific glycan in urine.
Medicortex’s tissue damage diagnostics patent “Method of detecting tissue damage” was granted in Finland (FI patent No. 130428). The patent covers testing of carbohydrates specific to tissue damage in urine of patients for detection of orthopaedic injury. This is a unique approach since the current detection methods are using radiation and they require arriving to a medical facility, trained personnel, and depend on equipment availability, all at high cost. The diagnostic kit to be developed by Medicortex will enable self-testing in order to determine the need to go to a hospital to be further analysed.
Medicortex has once again received confirmation of its strength in patent protecting the innovations and new technologies it has developed in-house by its experienced research team.
Dr. Harel, CEO of Medicortex says: “The diagnostic kit Medicortex is developing will enable a person to test him/herself using a non-invasive body fluid sample such as urine or saliva in order to determine if an actual tissue damage has occurred and if so, he/she will definitely need to go to a hospital for further analysis. This kit can help reduce dramatically the cost and time needed for diagnosis of such injuries.”
The company has applied for a research grant to further advance the R&D project related to this invention.
Medicortex has currently a funding round ending on 31st of August with beneficial terms of one free option for each share purchased. More information about the current share issue is available at: https://www.medicortex.fi/eng/investors/
