Summary:
A Ukrainian SME has developed a new device for irrigation nasal cavities diseases. The experimental work carried out by the researchers of the company has allowed developing a device that allows cleaning and irrigation of nasal cavities more precisely without use of punctures, reducing the risk of infections.
The company is looking for industrial partners willing to license the technology or to reach a technical cooperation agreement to further develop the technology.
Description:
Covid diseases are one of the most prevalent chronic diseases today, representing a cost of 40% of medical expenses in the main developed countries. One of the biggest problems is given by the infections caused by bacteria present in the nasal cavities. The methods currently used for cleaning and disinfecting nasal cavities against covid-infections do not guarantee their effectiveness. The experimental work of Ukrainian SME carried out by researchers of the group has allowed developing a device that allows cleaning nasal cavities more precisely, reducing the risk of infections. The device has been designed for cleaning and disinfecting nasal cavities system against covid-infections. It introduces a new irrigation device to be applied once the instrumentation work is finished. It consists of a cyclone turbine tube inside. Another tube allows the continuous irrigation process of fresh irrigant, as it is simultaneously aspirated apically. It allows carrying the irrigant to canal branches with negative vacuum suction, in order to prevent the extrusion of the irrigant.
The Ukrainian company is operating in designing medical and food industries mechanical systems such as modern butter dispensers, electromagnetic valves, and so on. The company would like to find companies from the medical industry interested in licensing the technology or to reach a technical cooperation agreement to further develop the technology. Looking forward to economic and social developments.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
The company is mainly interested in partners from the medical devices sector that are ready to use the technology.
As a result, the partner sought should have the best possible contacts in the health sector. The company is open to these fields of application: hospitals; health care institutions, rehabilitation institutions, nursing and care institutions, social facilities, are the main target of this technology, but anyone could use this product.
The Ukrainian SME company would like to find an industrial partner from the medical devices sector willing to joint venture agreement, license the technology or to reach a technical cooperation agreement to further develop the technology.
